This applies to all disc brakes as far as I know. If the piston is a cup, hollow where it presses against the brake pad it will just push back in with a C clamp. If the face of the piston is flat with either a groove across or an hour glass shape it screws in. There is a cube shaped tool available with different patterns on each side for the different types.
Yes But...
the rear ones are Combo, meaning have internal drums in addition to the disk pads. This is a bitt bigger than you think as you need to REMOVE the disks to access the inside drum brakes.
