Yes it works (if it says Honda in the listing), be careful not to bend the handle though.

Or if you have a large flat head screw driver just use that. Works a treat for me

Anything with a strong wide blade and a beefy handle would work to be honest. I used an old blunt chisel to turn rotate the pistons on my calipers with no problems.

Which way do the pistons turn out of interest?

 

[Chr15]

You have to wind them clockwise to get them back inside the caliper mate.

Make sure you take the handbrake off too.

Cheers chaps, noted for when I get round to replacing me pads/discs.

I bought a piston rewind tool by laser from Halfords. Circa £10 IIRC.

I have the same one, also useful for pushing the piston back in the caliper, well worth £10.
