If the parking brake is connected to these calipers they thread in clockwise special tool is available (not expensive) at Sears or auto parts If parking brake is not connected to these a "C" clamp should work to retract piston release the bleeder screw then either push them in or use a c-clamp to push them back in... this will waist a significant amount of brake fluid so make sure you have some handy I generally use a "C" clamp, but you can use whatever you have that will put pressure on the calipers to retract. The calipers move slowly and more pressure won't speed the process by much. If the calipers are moving, just keep even pressure on them.

What would cause air in the brake lines of a 1998 ford escort?
When replacing brake lines, wheel cylinders or calipers air will get into the lines because they were taken apart. Usually air gets into the lines before you work on it because the master cylinder got too low on brake fluid letting air into the lines. Also a bad seal on a caliper piston and a brake wheel cylinder will allow air into the lines.
