Re: Major problem with caliper piston...

Did you try moving it with the bleeder screw open?
Thanks for the reply. At first, atleast the caliper piston moved a little bit, but it would NOT move after like a few mm of length back into the chamber. I've tried having someone push in the brakes to try and release it, but it's not working. Loosened the bolt where you can bleed the brakes, didn't help. I am wondering if I should assemble eveything back and try the other side just to see what it does prior to taking this thing to the shop. Also, I've read that some caliper pistons SCREW IN versus just going back in under pressure. GREAT! It could be a screw in and I could have messed it up! All of this from trying to save my mom from a huge repair bill! YIKES! Thanks. I am about out of ideas and getting tired of trying to Google this for the last 2 days...UGH!
