I have a 94 z28. I'm changing the front brakes and I can't get the piston in the caliper to push back in. I've tried a c clamp with a block of wood and all. Still not an inch.

Any help?

Try opening the bleeder screw and see if that helps.

Tried that. No luck. Might have to just buy a new caliper.

Might want to replace the flexible hose to the caliper also. They sometimes collapse not letting brake fluid through. If the hoses are original, it's a good time to change.

Probably try that.
