Question on brakes

I have a few questions on these Supra disk brakes. I have never done the rears on this type of car before. On my old Honda you would have to screw the rear pistons back in instead of pushing them in. How is it done on the Supra? Screw in or push in? Also, I went to do the front today and noticed that besides the fact that AutoZone gave me the wrong pads, once you pull the calipers mounting bolt, the caliper wont swing all the way up because the brake line is too short. I guess I will have to take the entire mount off to switch out the pads. Is this right?
