They need to be screwed back in and pushed at the same time, if that doesnt work you can buy a set of brand new honda rear calipers from me

does the piston look like this? or does it have some kind of design in it?

If it has a design you cna buy the tool from autozone for like 7 bucks.

if it has some kind of X design in it you can use this tool

You possibly might need to buy a new caliper because its locked up. Been there done that TWICE

GOOD LUCK!

a pair of needle nose pliers works great
