rear caliper piston turns but doesnt go down

[danielson631]

i was installing new d/s rotors and everything went well until i was putting the last one on, the rear pass side. when i turn the caliper piston clockwise it will turn and turn and turn but it will not go down.

tomorrow i will pick up the tool that bullit1939 suggested i get to make the job easier, she also told me to take the cap off to relieve pressure, which i didnt know. im very appreciative of her being there at that particular moment and for doing what she could to help

im hoping i dont need a new caliper but howcome when i turn and turn the piston it doesntgo down just keeps turning?

i did the driverside rear with no problems, but the pass side wont go down. someone please help

you need to twist and push it to make it go in...

wow that makes sense no wonder the one side was easier, i was using needle nose pliers and the side i couldnt get to go in i was mostly using channel locks so i was just spinning it.

well now that you have answered that for me i think this thread can be deleted
