2000 Mustang rear brakes need help!

I am pretty much a shade tree mechanic, and to save a few bucks I am replacing my wifes brakes on her 2000 Mustang (not the cobra). The front went great but I can not get the cylinder in the rear caliper to retract so that the new pads will fit. I have tried everything to my knowledge. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

Your rear calipers have ABS, you need to use a $10 tool that can be bought at most part stores that wil twist the caliper back in not push it in like the fronts.
