Will this tool work for the rear calipers? Stanley Rear Disc Brake Piston Tool - Supercheap Auto Australia

Yes and no.
You will need to modify it. There is one side that has the correct pins but has 4 not 2, so cut 2 of them off.
The caliper needs to be turned and pushed in. So you still need some clamping force.

You can use a pair of long nosed pliers to push and turn at the same time.

For best results get a caliper compressor set from a better store and it will be a lot easier.

Thanks mate. I want to do it tomorrow so need to go into a store and get it. I believe Repco or the like have bigger kits for about $60.

Lucky for me I had access to one of the brake caliper tool kits. Made life much easier. I've got the fronts to do next weekend but hopefully it's a quicker and less painful job.
