I've been trying to do my rear brakes this week and ran into a few issues. At first, I didn't know I needed a scan tool to retract my pistons, so I bought a scan tool.

Do I need a caliper compressor wind back tool or is there something else needed?

I have a 2017 Chevy Malibu Premier 9-speed.

I just wanted to make sure a tool was needed before I try again and there wasn't anything else need.
