When I was replacing the brake pads on my rear passenger side, trying to retract the piston was nearly impossible. I used that socket insert thats like a cube to try to turn it but would not budge a bit. Tried flat head screwdrivers, chisels, clamps, the whole nine. This side has always been getting going through brake pads but as of a couple months ago found out there was a tear in my pin boot so all the grease let out, so I thought that was the reason for going to pads fast. Since then I replaced all the boots, guide pins, pads, and rotor. The fact that I cannot retract the piston all the way mean I need a new rear caliper? Or am I just not trying hard enough? Let me know what you think. Should I just buy a new caliper? Thanks.
