THe rear caliper has to be SCREWED in... not pushed in with a C clamp... You can buy the special tool at an auto parts store, its like a block with nubs on it... or use a pair of needle nose pliers to screw it back into place.

Yeah. They make really cheap tools that you can get that take no time to screw it in. Or as suggested, you can make do with what you have in your shop. Just don't use the C-clamp...it's not going to "compress" it in there.
