I needed new rear brake pads so I decided to change them.
I bought the special tool, which retracts the piston and turns it back in the same time.
WTF does it take so much force to turn the piston back in, I am using leverage, and I can barely turn it back in.
Could my rear calipers be seized?
I think I have the stock MC and stock PV, which I know the drums PV could be the culprit, but my car is off and no brakes are applied.
thanks

Are you sure that they are turn in pistons and not just press ins that you can use a c-clamp for?

Also remove the cap from your brake fluid reservoir.

lol, i am not stupid, all rear integra 94 and up anyways use the turn in discs for rear disc brakes.
anyways
I did take the cap off, maybe i'll loosen the brakes fluid to make it easier

What about Civic ones? I have Civic Si fornt & rear discs and on the front i just used a C clamp. Are they different? I used to have a '97 Integra GSR and when I replaced my brakes on that I just used a C clamp aswell. They worked fine after.

yes all civic and integra rears, you have to turn the piston back in...only the fronts can be pushed back in...

what you can do is take off the brake line from the caliper and see if that help take off some pressure...and make sure you bleed your brakes when you are done...
