The rear calipers have to be turned back in, not pushed. There is a tool, but rather than spend the money... I have used a 11/16 wrench. Slips at first until you get it started, but then the calipers turn pretty easily.

You need a spanner tool. You have to rotate the piston clockwise until it screws back into the calipier. DO NOT USE A C CLAMP as this will brake the calipier.
