The from worked fine but the back is being a *****... And no its not the e-brake, the entire caliper is off the car.Please anyone experience this...Any professional mechanics know what im talking about??? thank you for any help

You have to rotate the piston as you push on it to make it go back in...

Yeh.. you have to screw the piston in.. I use needle nose plyers.. It screws in the way a normal bolt screws in "Righty-Tighty"
