Just finished mine:
See below:

1. Do I need to clamp the brake hose before opening the bleeders?
NO.
2. Do I need any special tools to push the pistons back into the rear calipers?
LARGE 8" C-CLAMP, JUST PUT ONE SIDE ON THE BODY HOUSING AND THE OTHER DIRECTLY ON THE PISTON AND TWIST THE CLAMP UNTIL THE PISTON SITS BACK INTO THE HOUSING ALL THE WAY. REMOVE THE CLAMP. THE PISTON SHOULD STAY IN PLACE.
3. Do I need to open the bleeders in the first place ?!
NO. JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ROTORS TURNED (ABOUT $35.00 (8.00/EACH, AT ANY PARTS SUPPLY HOUSE.)
ALSO, REMEMBER TO RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEFORE TRYING TO PULL THE REAR HUBS OFF (MAKES IT MUCH EASIER)
