So i tried to compress my rear integra brake piston in an attempt to change out my brake pads and it wont turn. I have tried the plier technique but i believe my piston might be seized. Is there a specific tool that is needed to compress the piston that i might not know of? If there is, can someone please tell me how it looks like and where to purchase it?

Thanks.

There is a caliper squeezer made for that, but if you don't have one try a decent sized C clamp.

the rear has to be turned in so i dont think c clamp works..

Ah, my bad. Not very up to date with my Honda's, and didn't exactly completely read your whole post.

only the front brakes need to be compressed for the integra. the rear has this cross looking thing that u need to turn. u can either use a big flathead or the proper tool

Cube doesnt seem to work. My piston is too far out, not giving the cube enough clearance to be inserted inside the caliper. I think my caliper piston is seized.

Just use a large screw driver, lay flat into the cross section and turn that piston. ;)
