Just have to buy the square caliper tool that turns the calipers back from the local auto shop($10).If the calipers are ruff turning or the rubber seal is broken on the caliper,time for new calipers or it'll lock your rotors and you'll see smoke.It takes some pressure to push and turn the calipers but it's doable.I forced my calipers back in and I found out the hard way.Hope this helps....

you can also use needle nose pliers or a thin headed flat blade scewdriver to turn the piston back in. It's a bit more of a pain with those tools but it gets the job done if you already have them and don't want to make a trip to the auto parts store.
