C-clamp to the calipers

Phil Payne said that was fine for the fronts but not for the rear calipers. What's the reason for that? The car in question is an 89-100. Sorry Phil, I can't find your email to send this to you directly.

On the rear calipers there is a hex shaped hole in the middle of the piston
and you're supposed to use an appropriate sized hex key (I think 11mm) to
turn it in.
