Default Rear Brake pad replacement

Help! I've got a '02 A4 quattro. I've got the caliper of and the new pads in place but can't get the piston backed into the caliper. I did my fronts with no problem.Do I have a frozen caliper or am I missing something or some step?

you usually can get them back in with a large flat blade and a heap of pressure

The rear pistons should be screwed in. Use the special tool or a needle nose pliers.

I'm going to be doing my front brakes in a few weeks. Is there a how-to anywhere for replacing breaks on 02 1.8T?
