Default rear brake pads

I am trying to replace the rear brakes pads and I can't get them collapsed. Is there a special tool? I replaced the front pads in less than an hour and the rears have me stuck.

do you mean the caliper cylinders? if so they may need to be rotated to collapse. i don't have one just looking to buy one, so if that's not the case sorry
