Yeah you need to be pushing on as you turn (for the rears obviously)
And as stated, the correct tool does this. I have done it once with a g clamp and curve head pliers, what a PITA.
Proper winding tool FTW!

Managed to get a full set of pads from Norton way for £60 + £10 postage only a few weeks ago. Noticed that they have just gone up to £83 delivered.........
I got a winding in tool from Halfords and change from a £10 a few years back too. Easier than the alternative methods.

You don't need a special tool unless you are in I.T.
It's not hard to apply enough pressure to the piston whilst rotating it.
Chissel is a good idea, I use a large old flat screwdriver, side on and push with my thumb.
Easy.
