It's not required, I didn't use one.
You can use a screwdriver or similar and lever it against the old pads to push the piston back in.
These aren't the type where they need to be rotated to wind back, they can be pushed.
If the caliper is in good condition and you are strong enough you can push it back with your fingers.

PS good luck!
