To push the pistons of the rear brakes back, you probably need a special mechanical device that rotates the piston while simultaneously applying pressure to push it back.
My Transit van will probably be the first vehicle I don't do my own brakes on. I've heard the rear brakes are a chore. Sounds like Kia rear brakes are similarly annoying
I only know from the Kia Picanto and Ford Focus, both about 20 years old. It isn't overcomplicated and the "special" device isn't that expensive, a set that will work on (almost) any car costs about 20 €.
