swapping brake pads.
Is there an easy way to push in the caliper piston when changing out the pads? i can get it pushed in enough to slide the new pads in. A little help? thanks guys.
I don't own an Integra, but I changed brake pads on various types of cars before.
With most pistons, I just use a large C-clamp to push it back in. Some pistons, like the rear disc on some Hondas, are turned instead of push, I use one of a specialized brake tool to turn it; but you can use a large screwdriver or pliers.

For the rears, either get the right tool or use a sideways allen wrench.
There is also a tool you can get for the front that works better than a C-Clamp since the back of the piston is not really flat.
