Ok I just got my caliper off and put my new pads on and started to put the caliper back on but the piston wont go in and it just looks like a big cup(i was just wondering if thats normal) i thought these were the pistons you twist back in or are they the ones you clamp back in

front pistons are the pushing kind. just press as hard as you can, it should go in.

C clamps are your friend for pushing pistons back in. You can always try some channel locks if you don't have any clamps
