I had the same it gets to the point where they just keeps spinning right? use a c clamp that should compress it with spinning it you need a pretty big one. do one side at a time though so you do not blow out the other piston on the other side.paul

You can get a special tool that will help you to spin the rear pistons in at your local parts place. It should look like a cube w/ a 3/8" wratchet hole on each side.

You have to TURN the piston in ... not compress it in.
