Post what tool you have and you may get better help on here. w/o knowing what you have it's hard to tell you what you need.

To compress the pistons back into the housing I assume? Yeah a c-clamp would work fine.

I use a oversized C-Clamp . . . the only car I have run into needing a weird tool to compress the rear calipers wa my old 1998 Lumina . . . they needed to be twisted in or something like that.
