problem changing brake pads

Ive been trying to change my rear brake pads on my 1983 280zx. the passenger side went on fine, but the drivers side is giving me some problems. i cant seem to push the piston in far enough to fit the new pads. the brake piston wont move in at all!?!?! ive been using a C-clamp and it worked perfect on the right side but not the left. i need some help/advise!?!?

thanks in advance dudes -

You've likely destroyed both calipers...

It pays to read the FSM.
You don't clamp them in, you TURN them in.
