Default Rear break problem

Hello guys. Helping a friend out with an 01 GT. We are changing the rear break pads out. I'm trying to compress the rear breakpiston but it will not move. I have an 8in C clamp on it and can not get the piston to budge. Is there any kind of wired release valve or anything? Just wanted to know if I should throw some more force at it or what to try next. Thanks for the help.

Typical. Always some special tool. I don't think I have ever finished a job with out not having to go get some tool. I called advanced and they have. Thanks for your help.
