I did my brakes in December all the way around on my s14 and I think we used a large c-clamp to push the piston back (with the bleeder open to relieve pressure). Then when re-installing the pads, the main thing was to make sure the tab on the backside of the pad was lined up with the piston so it sits properly in the caliper. This is the best I can remember since it was a while ago and my dad was helping me (I make a better gopher than he does, lol).
You may want to jack up the rear, take off the wheel, and inspect the wear of the pads -angled, uneven, flat - and go from there. on my old eclipse, the swing arm/slider portion of the caliper froze in place and would not release, thus the rotor got hot and wore the pads at a really bad angle.
