You can buy the rewind tool , usually plenty on E bay or any motor factor / tool store . It's a case of pushing in piston whilst turning .Most times if no tool , can use long nose pliers to turn as you push . Not worth buying tool if one off job .

its worth paying 10 or 15 quid for the windback tool as you can damage the caliper piston rubber dust seal if you are not careful,entirely upto you how you do it
