Installing new rear pads

I have a 2002 f250 5.4 sd 4x4
When installing new bfg tires i notice while it was up on the lift the rear pads needed to be replaced. Almost nothing left so no thats of concern ill be replacing them myself.

Last time i did the front brakes it was a nightmare. All new calipers lines and rotors fixed the problem after countless hours of hunting it down the rotors had a friction pull.

Well now its time for the rear pads.

I remember some ford brake calipers in the rear needed a special twisting tool to collaspe the caliper if i remember correctly. Was wondering if anyone had information to if i needed one of these or to tell weather i do or not. Maybe its just the normal clamp method? anyones advice?
