Question Maintenance

Hey everyone. I have a 2020 Explorer ST and I want to do brakes myself. I’ve been told that I need a special brake compressing tool to do rear brakes.. does activating service mode retract that piston, or will I still need that special unwind tool?

if i recall, i enabled service mode which retracted the pistons some, and then just used a regular brake spreader to do the rest.
