Retract caliper piston on Ford Freestar 2005?

The piston retracts by turning it back in. You will need a Disc Brake Pad Spreader (Part Number: 648412) and a Disc Brake Piston Tool (Part Number: 648410) found at Advance Auto Parts. The Brake Piston Tool looks like a Rubik cube. Simply line up the knobs into the piston slots and place the disc brake pad spreader between the caliper and brake piston tool. Apply slight pressure on the piston via the pad spreader and turn the brake piston tool with a screw driver while continuing to apply pressure on the brake piston tool. From what I have read they could retracted by turning either clockwise or counterclockwise.
