Do you mean the front or rear?? If its the rear you will have to take the hand brake lever off and wind the piston back. The front ones will just push back. I use a G clamp for this.

There is a ratchet tool around that makes the rears real easy.... but not much good if the car is in the air.  G-clamp works best on the fronts, use an old brake pad to make sure the piston goes in straight. Take the cap off the booster too...... D  :

Tricky bit is you have to push the piston back as well as the spring loaded bit inside for the handbrake thingy deal.....  : D :

hye guys sorry to hijack the thread, but do the EF-EL rear calipers have the same problem as the EA-ED, in that you need a special tool to wind them back?
