Nissan rear brakes

[S47]

Rear Pads worn out quickly on Wifes Nissan Almera, how can I get the pistons to go back into the calipers, ordinary clamoing with a G clamp Doesn't work, is there some kinda screw mechanism similar to ford sierra rear discs, I 've tried to turn the piston but it don't wanto move - Help

They probably twist into the caliper, especially if the handbrake mechanism is on the caliper and not a seperate drum within the disc.
Caliper rewind tool May not be the exact one you need, but similar.

The pistons need to be turned to get them back in. Not uncommon for them to seize, sounds like yours have if they`ve taken out pads rapidly. If they are seized then without the right tool you will struggle to get the pistons to move. Decent cheap exchange calipers: http://www.brakeparts.co.uk/.

Thanks for the tips guy's, anyone know which way to turn the piston and whether there's a ratchet mechanism which has to be released ??

Pretty sure you need to turn the pistons clockwise with the handbrake off.
