Yes you can just ease piston back gently and once all back together slowly pump brake pedal until firm before driving.

As for torque wrench yes you can get away with using if you are confident you can get tight enough without being too tight. Obviously itââ,¬â,,¢s prefereable to use a torque but personally I only use one for head bolts etc.
