Calliper pistons are just that, pistons. They do not wind either way they just slide in and out.

They should slide nice and easy with some equal leverage on each side of piston. Keep an eye on your master cylinder refill chamber as excess fluid from behind piston will be making its way back there.

Cricky much easier to do than explain.

I stand corrected, rear piston does wind in/out. Fronts just slide :Hammer
