    Default Rear Caliper Piston

    Can't get the rear piston in all the way to install new pads......have done rears several times...using good c clamp...old pad to keep piston straight...even started car and hit brakes which cause the piston to push out to ensure it wasn't frozen but when I go to push it back in...can't get that last 1/8th inch....ARGHHHHH was supposed to be an easy job.

    Default try crackin the bleeder when you compress it.

    is it from a rust ring around the outer edge of the rotor?
