Mazda RX6 rear calipers

Has anyone changed the rear pads on a Mazda MX6?

Managed to do the nearside and found the screw that winds the hand brake back behind a bolt in the rear of the caliper. However, on the offside, the hole for the screw is there, but there is no screw in it. I assume this must be 'how it should be' as otherwise fluid would leak out, but I'm stumped as to how to wind the piston back on that side.

Anyone shed any light so I can get the thing out of my workshop?

Cheers, Chris
