OP, I suggest you have a shop do this. Brakes can be unforgiving if you don't know what you are doing.
Of course you can “squeeze” the caliper by hand. You just move the actuator lever on the side of the disc caliper. On rim brakes, we tend to squeeze both sides of the caliper together but we could just as easily squeeze the arms together.
