95 LS Rear Brakes

How the hell do you put them back on with new pads? I have tried to compress the piston with the caliiper off and it wont go in enough. Help someone. Thanks

They turn in. It should have a + on the piston. use some needle nose pliers to turn then in.

actually you have to squeeze them as you turn them. They have a tool for this, but I have always used a caliper piston compressor and a pair of channel locks.
