Does the rear caliper need to spin back in vs be just pushed in like a front caliper?
Can't say i've worked on a toyota rear brake. But i have not found a front caliper that i could not push in with a c clamp or a rear one with a set similar to this, much more versatile.

I believe it is a push type.

Lang 279 $50! And don't you have to take the caliper off, remove the brake pads, reinstall the caliper, then use the tool? If I have the caliper off, I'm going to use a C clamp.
Harbor Freight has a caliper piston tool for $8.

I have that tool. I don't use it for rear calipers - it is too large.

That's what I do on front calipers.

Sounds like I need to but $8 brake spreader tool for the rear and use the Lang 279 for the dual piston front caliper.
