Special piston compression tool for 9-3 rear brakes?

Hi folks,
Looks like I need to perform a 4-wheel brake pad replacement on my wife's 9-3 Combi at about 24K miles. Considering that she does mostly around town driving, having the front pads wear out at 24K is expected. Having the rear pads wear out at 24K miles is unusual. Am I correct in understanding that the rear brakes of later model 9-3s have been a common trouble area? Am I also correct in understanding that the rear brake pistons require a special tool to compress the piston? If so, is Lisle Tool 28600 the right tool for the job? Finally...if Lisle 28600 is the right tool for the job, would it also work to compress the brake pistons in the old 900s that have the parking brakes in the front?
