the rear is basically the same as the front except instead of pushing the piston back with a c-clamp you need to turn it clockwise either with needle nose pliers or with a special brake tool that pits into the 2 of the notches in the rear caliper piston

Is the Park Brake pulling on the rear main calipers when it is engaged? Or is there a seperate mechanical caliper for this?

Everything's the same except for the pistons are turned in on the rears. Go get 'piston turning' tool from Autozone.
