Which direction do I turn the piston into the bore? I am turning the piston clockwise and it is not going back into the bore. Thank you for your help.

I am attaching a video on how to retract these pistons, but they are most all going to go counterclockwise.

Please review this video and that will give you the info that you need.

Please see the attached info on how to replace the rear pads that covers this process as well and the process on how to rebuild the caliper if you wish to do that as well.
