You will require a wind back tool to get the piston back I to the caliper, which you can get from fiat for about £14
other than that though it is pretty much the same as doing the front

My cars done 27000 miles nearly only thinking about changing the rear pads ! As sometimes when the cars been standing especially when it's been wet I get a slight clunk from the rear when I pull off. I was thinking maybe a sticking handbrake , dodgy pads ?. So I thought time for change !!

thats nothing to worry about just the pads sticking to the disks due to corrosion, which is why you notice it more when its been raining as the disks will have rusted a bit.
if you put new disks and pads on you will just be wasting money as more than likely it will still do it.

I'm doing my rear brake and the rear piston is not going back in, can anyone help me? ive done the front with no problem.
the rears screw back in mate not push
To do the rear brake pads you need a right and left wind tool which you can get on eBay cheap with adaptor for all types of piston. When you take off the caliper you need to disconnect handbrake spring, I put a big screwdriver through the loop of the spring to stop it flying off then use molegrips to squeeze the spring together to disconnect it. When using the wind tool make sure the brake res is open and wind back slowly so you don't damage the servo.
