Default Need Rear Caliper Help!!!

so i went to change my rear brake pads and when i went to push the piston back in it wouldnt budge. it does the same thing for both of the rear pistons in the calipers. i know sometimes one can go bad but both rear calipersat the same time? also now i cant even put the old pads back in for the time being to have it looked at. i've loosened the brake fluid nipple to release some of the fluid so it would allow the piston to slide back in but still wouldnt budge. some one please help.

You need to turn them then push them in. Needle nose pliers will work.

actaully I had to buy alittle key chuck form murrays($10) that goes on the end of a socket wrench that fits on the end of the piston. It has2 little squares on it that fit on the piston. You have to turn this in order to get this piston to go in. You can't just push it in. You will need alittle muscle while doing this but it works. MAke sure you ask the tech at murrays for the correct fitting.
