Yeah the FC is like that, it's such a huge PITA
There is a tool that is made for the job...you could borrow it from a parts store that has a loan program, or probably buy one for not too much money. After we broke a couple C-clamps and learned that you have to turn it, we found that we could alternate clamping and turning, it was possible to do on his car without the special tool.
my cousins audi has the worst of them all. you actually need a certain tool to keep an exact amount of pressure on the pistons otherwise it pushes them back and destroys the whole caliper. i don't know how much the part is, but its the stupidest tool, and he said he has a friend who has the same car (a4) and tried to change his own brakes without the tool and he ended up destroying the calipers because he pushed it back to far and wrecked the caliper.
