retracting the brake pad is pretty easy to do without any tools. I simply put a tube and bottle on the brake bleed line, crack it open and then when i loosen the caliper carrier, i simply apply pressure against the rotor with the brake pad and it compresses the piston. These calipers are new enough they should move pretty easy. This is what i do on every sliding caliper ive owned with no issues. this also won't lose enough fluid to be an issue if you dont have any extra.
