2024 Nissan Pathfinder.

Currently trying to change the rear brake pads, but all tutorial videos use a battery in order to push the piston back.

I've tried just manually pushing it back in but it is very hard.

I'm seeing comments saying you can manually unscrew the motor to oush the piston in, but currently unsure how to do that.

Any advice?

UPDATE: Managed to detach it, and then spun a flat head inside the spindle enough to let us push the piston in with a clamp. Had to make couple of trips to Canadian Tire but the job was done at the end of the day. Never dealt with an electric brake before this one. DO NOT use brute force to push the piston in.
