they have a + on them, the piston needs to be rotated ccw (IIRC) and it'll go back in the caliper nicely.

Hey guys,.. im in need of help. I am replacing my brake pads right now and the rear is being a pain. The cylnders wont depress with a c clamp like other cars i have had. Is there a secret, or do you have to bleed the brake line?
Hopefully you didnt damage the piston by trying to push it in. (Bad things can happen)

I just use a 3/8 ratchet and extension, the extension fits in the middle of the piston, then turn clock wise, go in more that you need to and make sure the slot is in the middle, to line up with the pad
