Default Compressing rear calipers?

Is there some sort of trick to compressing the calipers on rear discs? (search engine is down)

you gotta turn them back. either use a disk brake tool that you can rent from Autozone or Pep Boys, or you can try to use a pair of vice grips. Open them up so they fit into each side of the grooves(+ on the piston and turn them counter clockwise til they are flush

good luck
