On the rear side of the caliper, you will find a bleeder screw. Very carefully, try to open the bleeder. If it seems stuck, don't try to force it, it will break easily. If stuck, back off the bolt that attaches the brake line to the caliper. Use a C-clamp to force the piston back fully into the caliper. Brake fluid will be released as you do this, that's a good thing. Be sure to keep pressure on the piston until you have closed the bleeder or re-tightened the line bolt, to prevent air getting in the system.

Some vehicles have caliper pistons that twist when compressing (for rears). usually you can take a prybar or hefty screwdriver to pry the caliper piston off the pad far enough apart to remove the caliper. Loosen the carriage bolts (usually two) on each end of the caliper, then pry between the rotor and pads. Should then come off. If you don't open the bleeder on the brake line, you don't need to bleed the disk brake calipers. however, if you have any type of pressure or fluid leak (bleeder, hose, seal) then you will have to bleed them.

put one of the old brake pads over the piston then use a c-clap and place it around the old pad and the back of the caliper then close the clamp to push the piston in,

take the pressure off by disconecting the brake line to the calipar.you can also place a c clamp over it and tighten it down.slide it over the rotor and leave it hang till you replace the pads .

Just tap it with something hard, like a hammer, to release the air bubbles, when bleeding the brakes. I assume that is what you are doing.

if your problem is that the caliper is bound to the rotor just back off the bleeder screw and pry the rear pad and piston back away from the rotor and it will fall off

open the bleeder valve and use a screwdriver to pry the pads away from the rotor.

it depends on the type, some you squeeze with a C-clamp and others will have like a screwdriver port they thread in
