the rear calipers are not pushing in ones, they screw in. you need a special tool from autozone or needle nose pliers. you probably have stuck caliper pins

remove the caliper and duct tape some needle nose pliers 'spread' to match the dimples on the caliper piston distance. Turn clockwise and the piston should turn in. Once I had to turn mine a bit counter clockwise to get it to catch, then back clockwise. remove the pins that allow the caliper to float, sand them down a bit, grease them up, and make sure they move freely. because they didn't move freely you wore down only one side.
