Yeah..... that is true. But if one tang on the pad isn't in the piston, the other one won't be either, so it would still wear relatively normal. For the most part when a pad wears uneven from top to bottom, it is the slide pins.
I'll just go park myself elsewhere. I see there are plenty of techs here to help him out.
Just as a note, that odd little square tool is what I've always used, even as a professional tech. I put it on my 3/8" impact, crack the bleeder, put the caliper up against something solid, and PUSH while hitting it easy. Piston goes right in. If it doesn't..... replace the caliper. As a note: some are left hand, some are right hand thread.
