Volvo have a tool to do this. I just used long nosed pliers on the lugs on the piston. You have to put pressure on using pliers whilst turning piston in an anti clockwise direction. slowly but surely it should start to decompress. I had a problem with one but used a 'G' clamp to put more pressure on.

They screw in. Unlike the front where you can press them in. There is a special tool that looks like a block and goes over the piston and sets in the groove on the piston. Screw in to press in piston. Be careful if you use pliers to screw inward. You can rip the rubber.
