This has been covered in the forum several times. Did you search the forums first?

Try using these search words: "rear brakes pistons"

The back calipers screw in. There is usually a slot or holes in it.

Just requires a special tool to twist them back in. Pretty cheap usually at the local parts store.......

You can buy one for $20. But I usually can use something out of my toolbox to do it.
