Not that I found, no. And I did some looking around. Especially with your focus being AX you shouldn't need to worry quite as much about brake temps. (as a note on this I did invest in the 1mm titanium backing plates/heatshield for the front brakes - which I think are discontinued now?)

Easiest way I found to get the pistons out was clamping the caliper in a vise and using a smallish set of locking pliers to hook onto the exposed ridge of them, and pull - careful not to damage the actual functional finished surfaces.
