you may want to try posting this in the suspension and brake forum....
if all else fails, open the bleeder screw, then push them. youll have to bleed the brakes when done, but if you are having problems, it will solve it....or diagnose a frozen caliper.
i just throw the old pad against the pistons, and use a c-clamp, big channel locks, pad spreader, etc. also, i usually pry on them a little before removal.
Try turning the piston.

+1 A lot of pistons unscrew when the push out, thus they need to screw back in to go back in.

lol, sounds like you are having TONS of fun.
but the threaded pistons are always a solid face, with slots or holes in them to allow for a tool. i have never seen a threaded dual piston caliper either. although twisting can help break it loose.
