i cheat and use a flat-blade screwdriver. just press the pad back into the caliper. or you could goto autozone and buy the screw-type pad compressor. i think they even rent one

 

Thanks Will,

I ended up getting it. Turns out turning them clock wise brings them right back in

man i hate stuff like this

Mods, go ahead and remove this please. Thanks all

 

Might have old boost in the lines

 

haha, you have to screw them on but I guess you figured it out. Dont worry I did the same thing when I 1st did my brakes..lol
