97 Infinti I30 Rear Break HELP !!!! Plz

Okay i upgraded the front brakes on the car with no problem, it needed rotors. I removed the rear brakes but cannot get the piston to compress back into the calibur (cant spell i know) I tried to use a c-clamp but that didnt work. I was also told to turn it clockwise and it will go back in. How many times do I have to turn this thing? I have been on it for about 10 minutes and still nothing.

I know there is a tool that will turn it for you but havent got it yet, I have been using channel locks and turning it.

I dont know if this has already been posted b/c I do have the rights to use the search.

First spray some rust penetrant on it near the rubber boot so when it turns it dosent bind up now to turn the caliper in use a pair of needle nose and apply pressure inward as you turn it in if thats not working go to sears and buy the correct tool

The easiest way to do this, i get a C clamp, tighten it to the piston, than take pliers and twist the piston. You will see it go in really quick. Keep tightening the C clamp and you will be fine.
