Backing off rear brake piston- what's the trick?

Having difficulty backing off the rear brake piston after changing rear pads- I had other cars that need the piston rotated a little and then it would move back and others have had a screw to loosen so it would back up. Nothing seems to let me push the piston back to allow room for the new pads.
What am I missing???

Needs to be rotated clockwise as pressure is applied, if I remember from other members' postings.
