OK folks, another brake caliper question.

The new pads are (of course) wider than the old pads. Normally I'd just push the caliper piston back in and make room for the new pads. But the rear caliper has a hand brake cable.

From what I understand I am suppose to rotate the piston clockwise 180 degrees at a time, "screwing" it back into the cylinder. The book says to use a pair of needle nose pliers.

Try as I might I can't get that darn piston to rotate.

So what am I doing wrong?
