As GT says, there is a hex bolt on the back of the caliper. It's just a cover for an allen socket (7mm, I think). Stick an allen in there, and it'll retract the piston.
When you put the caliper back on, the brake pads will be away from the rotors. Screw the allen in until the pads touch the rotor (hub is hard to spin), then back it off around 1/4 turn or so. When you re-connect the e-brake cables, make sure the calipers don't drag with the brake off. The e-brake is adjusted by nuts up by the brake handle in the cabin.
