hi mate you do really need the tool to wind the caliper back, they dont cost a stupid amount to buy on, and its better then using long nose pliers, if the pliers is the only way it can be done but you could damage a caliper

something like this will be fine, you wont need all of it but the kit works on most cars so it may be a good investment for you bud
