So I'm only trying to replace the rear pads... but cant make enough space to get the new ones in. It seems that the pistons keep the same gap no matter which one I push back.

Please help

    have the brakes ever been bled?

    if so there maybe too much fluid in the system. let some out.

    Or there could be dirt on the piston wall stopping them going back or you are not using enough force.

    put old pads back in before doing any of the above and push on them.
