Replacing Rear Brakes on 2003 Accord
I'm changing the rear brakes on my 2003 Accord EX, but I can't seem to retract the piston, even with a c-clamp, so I can fit the new pads. I can see the hand brake line but don;t know how to remove it. Is this why I can't retract the piston?

on the rear brakes, i believe you need to turn the piston counterclock to push it back. at autozone you may find a special tool to help you with that.

You mean clockwise, right?
