Did you get it? All you have to do is put a C clamp on the piston, and take a channel wrench and grab the groves and spin it to the right.

nissan actually makes a tool to spin them, but whatever works, works.

You can pick up a brake cube at any auto parts store for a couple of bucks... It works with a 3/8 inch ratchet and extension, and makes it very easy to screw the pistons back in.

Check it out:
