Perhaps they need to be screwed back into place. Never seen it on rear calipers but then again I haven't had a C4 either.

 

If they are castellated pistons, use a giant screwdriver or similar to rotate them back into their bores. IIRC one will be a right hand and the other a left hand thread.

they do need winding back but both turn the same way, clockwise. there quite tight and the threads are to course for a standard wind back tool and they just jam up. pneumatic wind back tools work a treat tho.
