The rear piston need to be rotated as they're pushed in due to the parking brake mechanism. There's a [special tool] ( http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-28600-Disc-Brake-Piston/dp/B0002SQUFY) that makes it super easy but you can also use a big flat head screwdriver with much more difficulty.
For some cars a simple clamp won't work - there's a special brake tool to reset the calipers. It's not overly expensive but does add to the cost.
I bought this one for my VW Jetta. They make cheaper cubes that supposedly work, but everything I read said if you don't want to fight with it just spring for a decent specialty tool.
All this being said, if you are not at all mechanically inclined and/or uncomfortable doing brakes don't force it. After all, brakes are the single most important "safety feature" on your car. This doesn't mean you have to pay outrageous labor prices though - odds are you have a friend/family member who will do it for a case of beer.
This is what you're looking for. As /u/Frink_the_tink said, this is the tool you need. Just pluck in onto a 3/8" ratchet, and screw it!
