Just a note - even after doing the lining change process - the pistons still need pushing back manually - the lining process does not move them all the way out.
I had the caliper open and the pads out earlier and I noticed that the piston had not fully retracted. I could put the old pads back in but it was obvious the piston would have to go back further to get new pads and disks on. I've got a piston tool.
Yes, M12 thread on bolt but M14 Multi Spline or XZN, or even triple square. I've just bought a set for my older daughter's 2019 Leon Cupra, it has the longer version of these bolts.
I'd think that many/most of us buy diagnostic tools and don't have a trial run of every possible use we might end up having to use them for.
I "dream" about creating maps for every controller on each of our family's VW Group cars - but not quite got there yet, even working out where the clutch pedal/master cylinder switches are monitored has not been done by me - and I'll need to find out soon!
Edit:- I came up against the "XZN M12 is not where your kit should end" many many years ago - when working on a 2002 VW Polo front suspension, for that I just bought a single M14 XZN bit, but now I've improved/extended the range of XZN bits in my tool kit! Actually also bought RIB - but so far, I have not needed that.

I just figure out how to do things as and when I need them. As well as running checks I've disabled stop-start, coded new batteries and made a few small changes to things. I don't find it very intuitive but it wasn't expensive and you get there in the end.
The caliper service position procedure only moves the parking brake screw out of the way - you still need to manually push the piston back, don't screw the piston in. Big pillars are normally fine.
Fingers crossed.
The caliper bracket bolts are very tight - so make sure the tool is a good fit, and clean out any rust/dirt. I normally give it a gentle tap with a knocking stick to ensure its fully home.
The rear can be a pain to get enough space/height to manoeuvre your breaker bar.
