decided to change my rear brake pads yesterday but i couldnt get the piston of the rear caliper to move in. what gives? Is the piston a plain push-in type or is it threaded? Thing is i tried twisting the piston to see if it moved in or out, and it didnt seem to move either way. Someone help please...

Yep, you need to turn and push at the same time. I had to open the bleed nipple to make it easyer for me on the 220

LOL, something to do with the auto adjusting handbrake. Oh the fun.
