brakes

I am changing my brakes in my 96 LS. It has 4 wheel disc brakes. My front brakes are done, and im on to the rear brakes. My question is.... How do you press the piston in for the rear brake calipers , its not budging. Does it have to do something with the emergency brake? My e brake is not engaged. Does it have to do something with the cabe line or what? Hopfully someone knows, thanks for your help

Tell me, Mr. Anderson, what good is a phone call when you are unable to speak?

There is a bolt on the back of the caliper, just sitting there. Unscrew it and inside you will see another bolt that takes and allen wrench type driver. Turn that bolt and the piston will back out.
