My jeep has the parking brake in the the rotor, it is not like the picture on this site. Is their a different way to push the piston back into the caliper? Or to I need the special tool shown in the picture?

If the parking brake cable does not attach to the caliper, use either a C clamp like on front brakes, or a large screwdriver, or large channel lock pliers, be careful if they are the phenolic pistons that you dont crack or chip them. You can open the bleeder to make it easier to push them in, the close the bleeder, this insures no crud messes up the ABS sytem. Loosen cap on the master before you push back!
