yes there is a tool to screw the rear brakes back in any auto parts store should sell it although this tool is expensive one can use a set pliers the appropriate size to fit around the piston and turn the piston clock wise while pushing Buy the tool- yeah its $40-50 for the right one -Astro Pnuematics 11pc kit available on e-bay or thru Harbor Freight.Or for $7-15 KD 3063-(not KD3163) is the cube tool that fits- dont be fooled into buying 3163 you will just have to return it or weld and machine your own tabs to the side that has none. VWs look like a shark fin with the big side outboard. The AP kit works fine or you can run down VW special tool 3273. I was not able to find this under $90- used! You can rent the tool at an Auto Zone for $37.00 for a 24 hr period. It works great and much faster than a pair of needle nose pliers. The best part is you get your money back when you return the tool. But save your receipt!

Use C clamps is one of the ways and is the most common if you have 2 cylinders do one at the time. You can pop open brake fluid resivor to let air out if they are very compressed.
