Mazda MX5 - 03 1.8 Changing rear discs and pads - bathtub tom

Daughter's been told her MX5 needs these and expects good old dad to do it for her.

I've found there isn't a Haynes.

I've never done rear discs before, but understood you usually need to twist the piston as you retract it and expected to need to buy a piston retraction tool. Googling seems to reveal you can remove a plug on these and use a 4mm hex key to retract the piston and adjust the brakes.

Anyone been here to confirm this is so across the range?
