Default Rear Brake 2006 Caravan - retracting caliper

Basic question. I'm about to work on the rear disc breaks on my 2006 Grand Caravan SXT. Can you use conventional caliper retracting (compressing) tools or do you need something special (is it just push it in or does it need to be turned)?

You have to remove the caliper.

If you have to ask that question, then please, for your own safety and the safety of those in and around your vehicle, get a Haynes or Chilton repair manual for vehicle specific, illustrated step-by-step instructions. The generic instructions found on a google search can only go so far.
