If I understand correctly, when replacing the rear brakes on my '01 Tiburon, I would remove the caliper from my rotors and then push the caliper piston back. The same as when I replaced my front brakes. However, after reading up on the process, I became confused. The rear caliper piston, unlike the on the front, "screws" back into the caliper? What kind of special tool would I need to accomplish this? Are there different sizes for different vehicles that I would need to be aware of?

Yes a special too is required. It fits into the slots on the piston. Call around to the local nationally recognized parts stores. Many of them will rent the tool to you and return the money when the tool is returned.
