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?

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.
