Caliper Piston Won't Fully Retract S70 1999

Hello All,

I posted this on the V70 board but didn't seem to get a shake, maybe the S-70 board is a little busier.

New pads in the front went well with the right side, but on the left, it appears the caliper piston won't fully retract to enable insertion of the new pads in the limited room.

Should I just use the old inner with about 0.20" and a new outer. I'm afraid of really cranking down with the c clamp on the piston to get it to retract any further. Right now, the piston doesn't leak and it surely did move back. The reservoir cap was off btw.

Or do I need to bite the bullet and purchase a rebuilt caliper and do it right.

Thanks,

Marty Wolfson
