You will need a commonly found brake caliper piston tool with an adaptor that has a notch to turn the caliper piston.
I use a similar toolset as this Harbor Freight set and you will need adaptor 8:

Good to know. I bought a scan tool for $160 that will release the parking brake. I'm also going to bleed my brakes in the fall and I like to do all my own maintenance, so having the scan tool seemed well worth the money.
Did you have to replace your rotors or did you get them turned? How many miles?
