changing rear brakes

Hello everyone . I need some questions answer if you dont mind .!st i have an 2001 f 150 4x4 and i have to do brakes all around . My questions is do i have to bleed the rear brake threw the bleeder when i push the piston in and 2nd do i need some special tool that screw the piston in or does it just push in.I think I read in here that it screws in . I did rear brakes a long time ago but forgot the little things about it anyway thank you for the answers Shawn

As long as you do not loosen the brake line to let in air you will be fine. I normally just get a large C clamp and use that to push the piston back in. Pretty simple.

Getting ready to do the same thing. Wondering, if anyone knew of a good write-up on replacing the rear brakes and rotors? I've got a '06 King Ranch. I haven't looked yet but I'm assuming they disc brakes all around.

Yes, all piston calipers on our truck press in. No screw.
