2008 LX rear disc brake pad change

[edwin]

Planning to DIY replace rear brake pads. Like to know how to get the piston back into flush position to accomodate thicker new pads.
Used C-clamp to push back piston on front disc brake job on dodge caravan. Wondering if it is the same with crv rear brakes or need to turn piston clockwise as I am seeing on youtube video on accord rear brake pad change. Advice appreciated. Thank you.

You can buy a tool at the auto parts store for around $6 that is specially designed to push the piston back in. Lately I've had a rash of calipers that are no good, after a while they freeze up and need a rebuild (I always just buy rebuilts instead of rebuilding them myself)
