put a piece of wood ( to protect the edge of piston ) over piston rim, then use a C-clamp, slowly tighten clamp until you have enough clearance for the new pads.
remove the cover from brake reservoir first, as back pressure needs to be released.
********** This is not correct.
Most modern cars with rear disc brakes have calipers that twist as they extend, and must be twisted in. There is a tool for this, which you can buy at Harbor Freight and most auto parts stores, and can be borrowed at some auto parts stores, that fits in the caliper bracket and has a handle to turn the caliper clockwise in. If you try to force it straight back, you will destroy the caliper.

I have found using a C clamp helpful in doing this. Since you will be trying to push the brake fluid back, you might need to open the bleed port while doing this.

Hey Nina==Take off the wheel then remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper on. Then pry on the caliper to compress the piston and remove the caliper. Hang the caliper with a coat hanger or wire and don't let it hang by the hose. Goodluck Joe
