hi
did my sons 1.6 stilo rear brakes yesterday. pads and disc's. i bought the proper fiat rewind tool £14-50p. bit of a pain to rewind the piston in, but you do need to apply pressure and turn.
the passenger side turn, anti-clockwise to screw in and clockwise for the drivers side. the fiat tool is a disc with two small diameter rods protruding out. this fits onto the end of the 2 screws provided, one left hand thread one right hand thread, the two protruding rods engage into the holes in the face of the piston. broke the end of the screw where it engages into the disc, the screw has a hole in the end for a grub screw, which is for locating the disc., but the hole is a bit to large for the diameter of the screw. not much wall thickness left for strength required when turning the piston. the pistons on my son's were rather stubborn. had to finish off turning both pistons back using the screws to apply the pressure and the disc fitting spanner from a angle grinder to do the turning. did a couple of turns then applied more pressure then a few more turns and a bit more pressure.
you could use a large g clamp and the angle grinder spanner and save yourself some money. the fiat tool is special order.
look up at fiatforum.com picture of tool on there in the stilo section and other advice from other stilo owners.
hopefully yours won't be as hard to turn back.
hope this helps
