Hey everyone i am new here and i am haveing a problem with changing my brakes. I got the front two on just fine but i am haveing a prblem with the back two they wont compress. I am using a C clamp but it still wont compress tomorrow i am going to get a tool that someone said i could use to compress the pistons for like $20. Is that theright route or should i go a different way??

The back ones compress, but there is a tool you need to twist the piston back into the caliper. They are not like the fronts.

You can borrow that tool at autozone. It is worth it. Makes the back brakes much easier.
