Hey guys I'm doing a rear brake job on a 97 honda prelude, I got the caliper off, and I put the new pads on, but before I put the caliper back on I need to push the piston back in. In the past a typical C-clamp did the job. On this car, for the life of me I cant get the piston pushed in.

I thought maybe the caliper was seized, but I'm having the same problem on the other side too!! I hardly doubt that both sides are seized, I dont think my luck is that bad.

So, how the fukk do I get the pistons back in?

THANKS!!!
 
You have to twist it in..
use needle nose pliers and scew as you push in the piston..
it's the hand brake screw that is stopping you.

Notice it in the caliper..
