Don't use a C clamp. Use a pair of pliers and twist them to retract the caliper.

The tool is pretty cheap nowadays. You can use pliers to get it back, but if it is siezed, you can use a C-clamp to gently put pressure on it, and use a hammer and punch to spin the piston. This way will make you wish you had spent the money on the proper tool.
