cannot get the piston to go in on the caliper (rear)of my '90 cutlass
supreme. Looks like the screww in type, but will not go. counter clockwise
just spins. Clockwise tries to turn it out completely. (and fast)

anyone?

Are you using the proper tool to do this, a lot of inward pressure is
required while screwing the piston back in, that is what this tool does.

I wonder if it is the same as the screw-in piston that the Fieros are known
for having.....they do make a tool that is for the screw in pistons and the
are multi-sided for different applications (dont remember the tool name,
just know I worked at an auto parts store that sells them)
