Rear brake problem on an FD.
About a month ago I was putting on new rotors, pads, and ss brake lines. When I was puttin new pads on the rear calipers I could not push the piston in to get more clearance to put the caliper back over the rotor. It went on, but it was very tight. I am not currently driving the car, but I am wondering what is wrong with the rear rotors. Need rebuilt? Any help would be great. Thanks

The fronts push in like most other brakes I have worked on. I guess I just assumed the rears would be the same. Yes I tried to push in the piston with a c-clamp. It didn't move with a lil effort so I stopped tring thinking something could be wrong. So how do you go about screwing the actual piston in with the brake pad off. Is there some trick to getting a grip on it to screw it in?

There is a common universal tool, you can find it at just about any auto parts store, this link is just an example:

The next LOGICAL step would be to look at the manual which explains this.
