What is procedure for compressing rear disc brake piston on 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Screw the piston puck in clockwise. There is a tool for this (KN or KY) that is a box with little dowel pins to fit the slots in the caliper piston. What you are actually doing is resetting the parking brake. As the pads wear and you set the parking brake, each actuation of the parking brake foot lever ratchets the piston outward to componsate for pad wear.

You need to turn this screw to back off the calipers in order to install the new pads. Since the calipers are threaded, no amount of pushing will retract them.
How do you compress rear brake cylinder in a 2005 Honda accord?
If this is an Accord with rear drum (did they still make those in 05?) replace the cylinder. If it doesn't push in easily it is frozen and will never work again. Otherwise: Unmount the caliper and remove the pads. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the caliper parking brake lever. Use a purpose built tool (preferably not the cube shaped thing) to rotate the piston clockwise as it pushes the piston inward. Verify that the notch in the piston aligns with the teat of the brake pad. If not, rotate the piston counterclockwise until the notch is positioned to positively engage with the teat.
