I tried using the C clamp but couldnt move the piston back.... someone told me about a tool that pushes back and spins it into place?

RE: 04 accord ex brakes

I was not aware that Honda's brakes were like ( Crysler) they do spin back in a circular way. All the Honda's I've worked on return back to flat with a c-clamp. Might check with the maintenance manual.
