replacement of rear brake pads

[HF]

I'm trying to replace my rear brakepads, but it seems to be impossible to push the piston back. Please help me solve this problem!

by the way, the emergency brake is not activated when pushing th piston.

They are not going to be pushed back. YOu have to use a 12 mm "something" and turn it right until you can get the brakepads inn. Think it should be 1mm cleareance between the disk and the pads.

After winding the pistons back in on their thread and fitting the new pads and calipers back on the car, slacken the handbrake cable adjuster nut right off inside the car. Then pump the brake pedal 20 to 30 times to push the pads out in contact with the discs. Next re-tension the handbrake cable and all should be well, as long as the arm on the caliper is not seized.
