Brake piston wont go back in (00 Mustang V6) I can't get it to go back in using a c-clamp. I got it in enough to take off the caliper and replace my rotors but I cant get the caliper back on. I even bled the brakes. Please help me

For both the fronts and the rears, you gotta get this tool that twists the piston in (I bet autozone has this loaner tool) and then the piston will go in.
