No.. the piston is compressed all the way... but the pivot point on the caliper (opposite of the caliper B bolt) is supposed to slide freely in and out to allow movement for the outside portion of the caliper. And this pivot point is siezed up. had to work hard to get it to pivot even, and it wont slide at all. There in lies my problem.
