it screws back in....special tool helpful
Up to about 1999, no. Only needed a large C clamp to push the piston back in the cylinger. After 2000 some rear brakes have the the screw type piston which requires you to un-screw the caliper back to the un-used pad position.
There is a 14 mm bolt on back of caliper. Remove this & use a 4 mm Allen wrench to back piston into caliper.
You will need special brake caliper tool such as a C-clamp to push back the piston on the caliper of a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer.
There is a specialty tool for this procedure. There is a metal plate that fits on the piston, then a clamp for the back of the caliper. Turning a screw will pull in the caliper. Opening the bleeder valve may be necessary.
If you don't know how to remove the rear pads on your aurora you have no business trying.It is the same as the front but when you push the piston back in on the caliper, you have to have a special tool that spins the piston in! (Thank you finally an educated answer.. i have been up and down this list correcting these peoples answers. good job)

if it is the caliper at the rear u need the special tool to turn the piston clockwise to push in and counterclockwise to pull out
In most cases, no, however if you are having issues getting the piston into the caliper, it may be seized, or it may be a turn in caliper.
The rear brakes you need a 3/8 standard wrench to open two bolts retaining the caliper. The piston caliper requires a special tool to "wind " it or screw it back in order to install the new brake pads. DO NOT PRESS THE CALIPER PISTON BACK. You have to "screw" or rotate it.

They need to be wound back in, using a special tool, a G-clamp also work to push it back, with the rotating part on the caliper piston.
center the piston cup with a Clamp and turn back slow until the cup set back in place
You will need to push the caliper piston back as well as rotated when you are replacing your rear brake pads. The caliper will need to be turned clockwise.
