Default rsx type s rear piston wont go back in....help please

Im changing my brake pads, front went just fine, and when I started the rear, some trouble came up. My rear pistions wont go back in for the life of me. Yes the cap is off the brake fluid. Ive also disengaged the ebrake, ive tried bleeding the fluid a little with that little nozzle thingy on the caliper. Still wont budge. Any help would be great, I need this car for work tomorrow and the old pads wont even fit back in. Thanks in advance.

i dont think it pushes in it like screws in or something. Search on clubrsx.com for a diy rear brake pad install youll find something there.

Just go to the local auto parts store and buy the tool (yes, it's like a cube). They are universal. $10

if you can find a big enough flat blade screw driver you can get it back in that way. "remember lefty loosy righty tighty"
