Yeah, On my mom's mazda it was the same thing. It's the adjustment mechanism... they unscrew themselves as the brakes wear down... and you have to screw them back in.

most rear brakes need to be screwed in...something about how the e-brake works.

agreed i di dit to my crx

Re:I FUCKING HATE C-CLAMPS!!!!!!
 

use a needle nose pliers or big screwdriver to rotate the REAR piston back in. it will not go in like the front pistons.

For reference, they make a sweet tool to do that with. It's like one of those brake pad ------ers for the front, except instead of just pushing, it has little nubs to fit in those grooves and to push in and turn it at the same time, takes a few seconds to reset the piston. You can borrow them from Checker and such... if needed.

94+ Integras you use a screwdriver and screw in the piston. I used to change brakes on my 96' Integra about every 9 months (lots of track time). they're hard as ---- to compress (like you tried) but if you screw them in its very easy
