Toyota Avensis 08 2.2 estate - Front/ Rear Brake Pads - Robin the Technician

Hi,

Just thinking ahead but do you need any special tools when replacing the rear brake pads? I know on some vehicles you need to wind the piston in as it doubles for the handbrake - is this the same? I'm unable to get a manual for this 08 model otherwise I'd have gone and bought one.

Thanks
