Never had to "turn" the pistons in the calipers. Just use a c-clamp and a piece of wood to compress the piston in order to install the new pads.

Rears you have to turn. Fronts you don't.

To the OP it could be the caliper is seized and you need a new one.

Ah... I was going off the knowledge of doing the fronts. I apologize for the misinformation.
