Hey guys I need some help. I went to go change out my break pads and was not able to depress or compress the caliper piston. So i was not able to install the new break pads. The piston seems to be stuck. I tried a c clamp and i tried a compressing tool from autozone and no luck. Can anyone help please. I am thinking that i have a bad caliper..help please :microwave

alright guys after doing some research i found that: There are a pair of 14mm bolts on the rear caliper. One holds the parking brake cable in place, and it must be removed in order to get the calipers off. The other one covers a bolt with a 4.5mm allen wrench fitting. Turning the allen bolt moves the rear brake piston in and out.
Heres the link where i found the walkthrough for my P5 http://www.thinkythings.org/p5/brakes.html
