Default HELP WITH BRAKES!

Yeah I know that was all in caps, but **** it.

I'm replacing my brake pads, but the piston that holds the pads in place on my back-left wheel doesn't want to budge. My pads are at 0%, they're completely shot, and I simply CANNOT brake anymore. So, does anybody know something I can do to loosen that piston? It's ******* ridiculous, and I'm about to pull a Jeremy Clarkson and just take a hammer to it [:@]

if its like a b6, the rear pistons must be rotated while being pushed in.... harbor freight sells the same tool as ecs for $20 or you can rent one from autozone...

be sure to open the unsure the cap on the brake fluid and make sure it doesnt overflow
