Rear Caliper ?
When installing the new brake pads, which way do you turn the piston? Clockwise or counter clockwise? The reason I ask, is that it seems the piston will go in no matter which way you turn the piston.

Push and turn at the same time.
If you are using that little block type adapter you get a Autozone, see if you can find the clamp style with the dies.
That one seems to work much better and you won't slip off the piston and crush a finger or dust boot.

The best way we have found is to put a "C" clamp on the piston to kinda break it loose a little and then use the block..........turns real easy then.
Oh yeah. don't forget to take the cap off of the brake fluid reservoir before you start.
