Default Help, rear pad and disc change - GALAXY 2.3 HELP PLEASE

Hi hope someone can help me,
Changing pads and discs on 2001 galaxy 2.3

I can not get the caliper piston in, i have been told i require a special ford tool which turns the piston at the same time as pushing???
Can i not just use a clamp on it to push it in, ive tried with all my might to push it in to fit pads in, please help.......

the pistons need to be twisted/turned for them to go back in to allow new pads in!
