At the centre of the rear of the caliper, you wi;; see a 14mm bolt. Remove the bolt and insert a torx bit, t20 or 25 and turn the screw inward as far as possible. As the screw turns, it will draw the piston in. When fully retracted, don't forget to replace the bolt.

There is a special tool that one needs to accomplish this task. It turns the piston while pressing the same piston into the caliper body. Try www.germanautoparts.com to purchase same. Do not try to do it without this tool, you will damage the caliper and it will cost you $$$$$ to replace.
How do you compress the piston back into the caliper without having to replace the caliper?
Since you did not give any details I will have to answer with some general suggestions. 1. standard caliper, use a C clamp to compress the caliper ( no need to bleed system ) 2. If you do not have a C clamp, release the pressure by turning the bleed screw and push the caliper in. you will need to bleed the system if you do this. 3. certain vehicles need a special tool that turns the caliper in ( will have a slot in the piston ), they are pretty cheap and your local auto parts store will have them. When you get there get all over the parts counter person for not mentioning that you would need one.

How do you change rear brake pads on a 2006 Chevy Malibu?
The calipers do not just compress down on the rear disk brake, they have to be screwed in clockwise because of the parking brake system. Turns out there is a special tool you can purchase, called a Disc Brake Piston Tool its about $12.00, but if your in a bind you can use a pair of needle nose pliers to insert in the notches and screw the caliper in clock wise. I also had to use a pair of channel lock to start screwing in the caliper.
How do you get the piston on 2003 Mazda protege5 rear brake calliper to go in so you can get the pads on with enough room to fit onto rotor?
There is a cap that looks like the top of a cap screw, but it is a plug, not a bolt. If you remove the plug, you then put a 4mm hex wrench into the hole to back off the caliper (this is how the parking brake is adjusted). The cap is on the back of the caliper. When you put the new pads in, you tighten up the caliper with that same 4mm hex wrench, and back it off until the wheel turns freely. This is from a 4 wheel disk 2003 Mazda Protege 5.
