I am putting new pads on my 1996 Maxima. Does anyone know if the rear cylinder pistons can be pushed back in or are they the screw in type? Thank you!

Screw in type. Turn CCW and gently push in. There is a tool called Disk Brake Piston Remover that can be purchased for $6 at Advance Auto that makes it very easy. You attach a 3/8 inch socket to adapter. Some parts places will loan them to you. You can also use needle nose pliers, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Didn't work very well for me so I decided to get tool rather than ruin a good set of pliers. Hope this helps!
