Break caliper stuck in open position

[clintwirz]

I went to change the drivers side pads out and the caliper is stuck in the " out or extended " position. It's my first time to do this myself and it's becoming a painful process. I've tried just about everything I can think of. It's suppose to screw in but won't. I've let all the pressure off the line. C-clamp won't work, etc.
NEED HELP!
thx.

@clintwirz Welcome to the club! Sorry to hear your having issues with the brake piston. It may be caught is why the C-clamp isn't working there should be a bleeder fitting on the piston caliper you can loosen if you haven't done so already. If you haven't loosened the bleeder valve try that and moving the piston around with your fingers in case it is caught uneven etc. I have never had one stick on me bad that I couldn't get back in with a little patience and pressure.

Yep. Ive blead every port but I'll give anything a try at this point
