Default Help please! My favorite son is changing the rear pads...

on his Jetta. Do VAG rear caliper pistons just push back in, or do the need to be screwed back in?

Default I dunno about the Jetta, but they screw-in on every Audi I've worked on.

You can do it with the cheezy cube or be a hack and use a set of needle-nose pliers.

But you really want the right tool for the job and a good one costs ~$70. The Harbor Freight one is considerably cheaper, but you get what you pay for.
