Default Rear Caliper Trouble
I spun the piston clockwise for at least 10 full turns and it didn't back into the caliper even a little bit. So I had to put my old pads back on. Any reason why it spins freely but doesn't back into the caliper?

Default Need pressure/compression + rotation. Do you have the caliper tool?

Tool, No. Pressure + Rotate, Kinda. I'll probably just have to pick a tool to get it done...

2nd... a clamp to maintain pressure works if you don't have the tool on hand
