Default gk rear brakes help

I have a 06 Tib that I could use a little help with. I am in the process of replacing the brakes and can not seem to figure out how to get the piston to go back on the rear calipers to put the new pads on. I would appreciate any help you guys can provide

Go to the auto parts store and buy one of these (see pic). They attach to a socket wrench and have different faces for different types of caliper pistons. One side will work for your pistons and by rotating the piston clockwise it will go back into the caliper.
