I used a T45 Torx bit which fit perfectly, and turned by hand. I then bolted the motor back on and was able to easily push the piston back with one thumb

Hope this helps someone. Let’s see how my iSweep iS2000 pads do henceforth.
This is the way I had to change my rear pads the first TWO times on the 2018. Giant PITA. Took FOREVER, simply because it's fiddly. Not DIFFICULT per se, just fiddly.

Good detail. I look forward to your iSweep review.
