Brakes problem
1997 Acura TL V6 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 116000 miles

I have a 1997 Acura TL3.2 and I need to replace the rear disc brakes. My question is how do I get the piston on the caliper to retract? I have loosened the cap on the master cylinder and tried to use a clamp to get the piston to retract, but it wouldn’t move. Is there some other way to get the piston to move inward?

Screws in like a bolt. Put a little lube on the boot so it doesnt rip and turn the piston clockwise and it will screw intot the caliper

Yep, here is a guide to show you how. You will need a special tool which you can get from the auto parts for for free if you rent it.
