rear brake help needed....
I am changing the rear brake pads on my 2000 and after some research I relized that the piston has to be rotated clockwise back into place so that the new brake pads can fit. Does anyone know an easy way to do this or any way to do this without damaging anything? Or where to go get a tool to do this.
Thanks in advance

That's not normal, is the piston almost flush with the rest of the caliper assembly?
Example, both on my 95 and 03, which are the same as I see no difference in them.
It would take maybe 3-4 turns to move it enough to fit the new pads, and that would'n't even take a minute. MAke sure the teeth on the tool are grabbing the notches on the caliper.
