I need to replace the rear discs & pads on my 2000 Xsara 2.0 hdI.

Is a caliper piston wind-back tool required (i.e to rotate the pistons), or
do they just push straight back?

TIA

Andy

If it helps at all my Xantia rear calipers just pushed back, as did my BX.
You may well find the Xsara is the same.

You only need the retract tool on the end where the handbrake goes...

In a Xantia/BX its the front... I don't know if Xsaras have the handbrake
to the rear wheels.

then the rear calipers need the tool to retract the piston.
