UPDATE:
I tried disconnecting and re-connecting the battery to release the ABS... No luck. The driver side rear caliper piston still will not retract at all!
I am able to get the piston to rotate in the caliper using a channel-lock plier on the leading edge (being careful not to mar the piston wall) and it rotates with effort but it doesn't seem to be retracting...only rotating. When I then try the special tool, it won't move again...? I am putting all of my weight onto the tool (200ibs), the master cylinder is open and the bleeder valve is wide open. About 2 table spoons of brake fluid has coem out of the caliper...nothing more.
I have contacted the dealer about a new caliper...it will be a couple of days to arrive...not a stock item. I am off work today and would love to try anything you can suggest before I spend the $265 for the new part. Please let me know. Thanks.
