first of all the rear calipers turn in clock wise. A C - clamp will not do it.
DO NOT PUSH THE CALIPER IN!!!
Most part stores sell a little square cube thing to turn in your caliper. Great tool to have and under 20.00.

The rear caliper have sort of a screw inside. As the pads get lower it turns out. You have to turn it clockwise back in with the mentioned tool. IMO the "cube" tool sucks hard.
