    I can't retract the piston to fit the new pads. Any ideas?

    release the pressure or use a piece of wood /srewdriver
    slowly apply gentle pressure keep doing it and they should go in.
    becarful not to scratch the disc when doing it, hence use a bit of wood and
    a long wide driver, just twist the blade against the wood bewteen the driver
    and the disc
    till you can use the wood on it's own.

    Rear calliper pistons screw in - if you push them back the calliper will be
    damaged. You need a special tool to wind them back in.
