I am in the middle of changing my brake pads, but I have run into a problem the rear caliper piston will NOT compress I went to Kragens to get the universal tool, but it doesnt fit I then tried to use pliers, with those I was able to turn the piston(clockwise) 4 full rotations, yet it doesnt seem to be compressing the piston and now it doesnt want to turn anymore does someone happen to know where I can get the right tool for this thing, or any other methods of getting it to compress

Open the bleeder screw while your turning the piston in,this will make it alot easier.Also put a little lube on the piston boot so it doesnt bind and tear while your turning the piston in.

I used the universal tool but none of them really fit. I used one of the sides with "4" protrustions and filed off 2 of them - this made the 2 remaining ones fit pretty well. Be sure to "push in" while turning or nothing actually happens.
