Brake caliper pistons on 4.2 Supercharged

I would welcome any recommendations for good tools for retracting the pistons on my brake calipers. There are lots of tools out there, but it is not easy to see which will work on this car.

Front are Brembo, rear are not.

Thank you.

TDV8 has same setup.I used a screw driver pressed against old pad to push piston back on my brembo front calipers easily. For the rear I used a G clamp. So no sexy tools needed Thumbs Up Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Thank you. I shall follow your advice.

A shame really. I am always looking for excuses for a call to the local Snap On man.

I agree with Googsy, no sexy tools required (unfortunately), I also like my tool boards/boxes to be filled with cool stuff Smile (provided I had a garage to put them in again of course). MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
