Rear caliper help

For those of you who changed the rear pads, how many turns on the caliper did it take to compress it back in. i must of turned it a whole lot of times and it never moved. any suggestions?

Thanks

Are you twisting and pushing in at the same time? Did you remove the brake reservor cap? You maybe building up pressure not allowing the caliper puck to recess into the caliper.
