I will shortly be changing pads on my 986 Boxster S. On previous cars when I have changed pads on I have been able to use a "G clamp" to push the pistons back into the bores. Looking at the Porsche callipers I doubt this will work for the Boxster S. Can anyone out there tell me the method for pressing the pistons back into the bore.
I know if I open the blead valve they will probably move back with just hand pressure but this to me is not a preferred method.

Regards,

Tony W
