You will need to wind the pistons in (clockwise) to retract them.

Yes, but make sure you unwind the adjustment on the handbrake lever first with a 12mm socket, long extension and ratchet.Once the calipers are back on and secure, start the engine and pump the brakes until you get a firm pedal. Readjust the handbrake lever so that 1-2 clicks takes up the slack and 4-7 holds the car firmly. Over-tightening the handbrake wears the pads excessively fast. Genuine rear pads last approx 40,000kms.

Has the ABS fluid be changed recently (if it has ABS)! If not, do it now.
