Do I have to do anything special to get caliper on rear to recess during rear brake replacement?

Check with a part store, there is a special tool used to compress and turn the caliper at the same time, it fits in the notch on the bottom of the piston, shouldn't take too much pressure to press on it, may have to loosen the bleeder valve. the video will show you how.
