How do you remove the rear calipers?

I need to replace my rear pads. How do you ratche in the caliper to remove it from the rotor and replace the pads? I know you can't use a C-clamp like on the front. How do you do it?

First the rear calipers bolt on.
Don't remember what size socket.
Second, there's a tool for compressing the piston that looks like a disc pad without the lining and has a hole in the middle with a threaded rod and **** passing through it. Tht's the best way to push the piston back and you can leave it attached till your ready to reassemble.
I'll get the make and part number tonight.

It screws in, hopefully this link to snap-on works. Do a search in their catalog for brake tools.
