Welcome to AF. Tough to make out your post, spelling issues? Try large channel lock pliers also, or get help from a pro.

I had trouble removing my front pads. seems a rivet on the inside pad would catch on the inside of the caliper. I used a very large c-clamp and about a 4 inch extension. I put the extension across the top of the pads, and inside the caliper piston. Then I was able to use the c-clamp, to push in on top of the extension, which pressed the piston in, enough so I could remove the caliper.
