Default 04 Caliper Piston

I know i have to push the piston back into the caliper when changing brake pads, but does the piston PUSH back in or SCREW back in? If it SCREWS back in, is there a special tool to buy?

The fronts you can push in with a C-clamp...the rears you spin/screw back in. I don't know if Honda sells a special tool for that, but I have always used a 3/8 ratchet to screw it back in and it works, but I'd like to get a tool as it would be a little easier.

you can either rent the tool for the rear calipers from an auto parts store or just buy it i dont think they are that expensive.
