The calipers do not just compress down on the rear disk brake, they have to be screwed in clockwise because of the parking brake system. Turns out there is a special tool you can purchase, called a Disc Brake Piston Tool its about $12.00, but if your in a bind you can use a pair of needle nose pliers to insert in the notches and screw the caliper in clock wise. I also had to use a pair of channel lock to start screwing in the caliper.
