You can buy (for about $5-10) a generic "rear disk brake tool" at any auto parts store.

Looks like this.
Listen to this guy and buy the right tool.
Don't be ghetto like the others
These are always in stock at Kragen and Pep Boys

You can damage the rears by attemtping to force them back without rotation.

The one I have kinda sucks. Does the job, but there are better ones out there. I haven't replaced it yet because I haven't had to do a brake job in a while, but when the next one comes around, i'll be getting something better. Mike's suggestion is a good one.

I bought the cube and I think the 3/8s ratchet works better.
