I removed my break calliper trying to diagnose a clicking noise ( see previous post) can I get this back on to the disc without having to remove the back wheel ?

Pistons are extended, not enough space between pads to fit the rotor. Take out the pads, gently push pistons back into the caliper. Re-insert pads and put the caliper back on. Adjust caliper position to avoid rubbing
Technically yes. I‘d suggest you push apart the pistons with a screw driver to have more room. But if you look at the break pads the pistons do not move equally. The right side is almost done while on the left side you have plenty of break pad left. I‘d suggest you get it serviced at some point.
Sure you can put back on with wheel attached but first need to make some space for rotor…. Put a flat edge screwdriver in between pads and pry you some space.
Yes, but it looks like your pistons are pushed in. You can gently push them back using a tire lever or some other plastic thing. Try to apply even pressure
You will also need the corrext caliper adapter for PostMount to IS
If you want not realy recomended but if you take a flathead screwdriver clean it and push in the pistons With the pads in. Not the best but that what i did on my bike or listen to someone Who do have a proper brain that works compare with mine
you have bigger issues with your pads being used only one sided
Theoretically yes, but from a picture it looks the calipers are quite close together, so maybe you will run into some issues. But you would run into same issues if you would remove the wheel.
