Brake calipers are what house the brake pads and fit over the rotor. If you are working on the brakes, usually the calipers need to be taken off in order to work.
No need to rotate the front caliper pistons as you compress the front calipers. That process is only for the rear calipers because of the parking brake mechanism.
the piston on the rear calipers will turn in a clockwise motion and that is how they retract.
The rear brake calipers screw back in. This is because of the park brake. There is a tool that you can either buy or rent from one of the larger parts stores.
The 2003 model has different caliper assembly for the brake system of the vehicle. If your Caravan has drum rear brakes, it uses TRW brake calipers. If you have disc rotors in the rear then the front will have "Continental Teves" calipers (Haynes 9-3).
Lift the vehicle on a car jack, remove the tire, remove the brake shoe/calipers, and remove the old brake pads. Put in the new brake pads, replace the brake shoe/calipers, replace the calipers, and lower the car.

Have you replaced your rear pads or calipers? May have air in the lines. The reason the E- brake works is because it is engaged by a cable and has nothing to do with the hydraulics of your brake system.
Apply your parking brake a bunch of times.
