rear calliper piston retraction on 440 2.0 GLT (1995) 400

posted by  someone claiming to be owen fozzard on  Sat Jan 7 06:14 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I'm having difficulty retracting the piston in the rear brake calliper of my 1995 440 GLT. To fit new pads the piston has to be retracted manually using a screw thread driven by an allen key. In my calliper the screw thread has turned a few times but the piston doesn't appear to be moving back in. Can I fix this on the workbench if I take the calliper off the car, or is ist time for a new calliper? Any advice appreciated!
