Honda Repair: 95 Honda Accord ES Rear Brake Cylinders, caliper pistons, brake cylinders

Question
I am replacing the rear brake pads and I can't get the caliper pistons to retract into the housing by using a c-clamp. Even tried loosening the bleeder screws. Is there a trick or are the calipers shot?

Answer
if you notice the 4 point slots in the piston... those are for a tool to turn it.
the e-brake works on a threaded part of the piston.
you can just use some channel locks to spin it back in.
if it is really tight, then you will have to find a tool for it. sorry though i couldn't really point you to a place to find one retail.
