really, that's odd. You might try to loosen the bleeder screw to relieve some of the pressure, but then you might have to bleed it afterward. Are you sure the piston isn't dirty or anything?

they are really hard, i used those locking pliers a little at a time to clamp them back into place. or you can try getting a jack in there.

There is no pressure on the brake system, fluid resivoir cap in the engine bay is off?

For the back calipers you need to "screw" in the piston. you have to get a tool from an autoparts store. there is one that looks like a cube and costs about 5 bucks or you can rent one from someplace like autozone, the autozone one is nice.. I know b/c i have one at my house.
