How to collapse piston in rear caliper on 1992 civic

i am trying to push the piston in the caliper in with a c clamp to change the pads. it will not budge. should it push in or am i missing something. both sides are the same. i removed the resevoir lid and even opened the bleeder screw to no results. thanks for any help.

It takes a special tool. The piston needs to twist in. You should be able to barrow the tool from AutoZone for a deposet or you can buy 1. From this video I see you can also use a chissel like a screw driver to screw it back in.
