Rear Caliper not going in when turned

Drivers side caliper. Turned it a bunch last night. Nothing. This morning I opened the bleeder. Fluid is coming out. More comes out when I turn it. Still nothing.
So I started pushing as hard as I can against it when I turned (block of wood behind caliper on shock). Still nothing. I measured the piston length, turned 20 times, same length after 20 turns. Not going in.
Help!

Did you open the cap on the fluid reservoir? That helps sometimes. And you did release the parking brake, right? [Image: smile.gif]

Also, I always remove the rotor and then loosely bolt the caliper back in place, that way I can push on it harder and it stays steady.

Oh ya (regional lingo followed by 'you betcha'). Did check that.

I ended up taking it out, putting it in a vice, and clamping the piston while turning.
Had to clamp it HARD. Used a couple bb's inbetween some metal with lube in the middle where the clamp was on the piston to allow it to turn.
It moved.

I just did mine yesterday; bought a "universal" tool from NAPA which I had to take to a visit with my bench grinder to render useful. Finally got to work and discovered what a *witch* it is to retract those little buggers!

Anyone know why you have to twist these things to get them to retract? It has me baffled!
