The rear caliper compresses into the bore by rotating the face clockwise. You can do this with a special tool or with long, needle nose pliers. Unlike the front calipers, the piston extends and retracts on a spiral screw attached to the bottom of the caliper bore.

How do you compress the rear caliper on a infiniti g20 so it slides on the new brakes?
My 1999 infiniti G20 rear calipers have to be twisted clockwise in order to compress them. The auto parts stores have a tool set you can rent that will compress and twist at the same time. I went the cheap route and bought a universal cubed looking tool that attaches to a ratchet and it worked but was really hard to compress and twist at the same time. Definetly recommend the tool set rental.
