Brake Problem

I have a '93 F150 2x4. I went to put my new pads in today but i cant push the piston back in to the caliper. I relived all the pressure and i still cant figure it out what am i doing wrong?

Thanks, Matt

It sounds like the caliper piston is frozen in the bore, get a loaded caliper and replace it, they are not expensive
FYI, a loaded caliper is a rebuilt caliper w/pads included.

well, after they get old, when you take the caliper off, the piston is "frozen" in place and it cant be umm unfrozen lol, so you have to buy new ones, which isnt htat big of a deal since there cheap.
