Wind them back in ? Have they got 2 flats on the outside of the piston ? If you have a welder make up a thick plate that will span the calliper, drill a hole and weld a nut on. Put the plate on the front of the calliper and wind the bolt towards the piston. Then wind the outside of the piston back with pressure on from the bolt. If not just put some pressure on as you wind back. Now there are some people who say if you don't undo the bleed nut then you can push the seals out of the ABS pump. Cant see it myself. Personally I've never had a problem. And have had more to do with very modern cars than most....

hiya mate, i would agree with tubbs, we had this on a car a while ago and after loads of tickeling with a hammer and a large pair of pump grips we realised they wind in lol
