Im trying to turn clockwise to decompress the component so I can put brake pads on the rear of my car. Its not turning. Im using a screwdriver and a hammer. Am I doing something wrong?

If you keep using those two particular tools, you are bound to rip the dust boot at least!

this will show ho to retract the caliper

There is a tool for this purpose, it pushes as you turn the piston with the caliper tool! Rent one at any parts store...
