Yesterday while bleeding the brake fluid I removed the brake pads from the rear LH caliper . I pressurized the brake fluid reservoir. Both the pistons came out now the Inner piston is refusing to move. I tried all sorts of things (Almost bled one Quartz of fluid) .Then I removed the caliper and tried to force it in still it did not move . DUring the application of force I have damaged the dust boots of outer piston (slight crack). Moreover a small chip from the outer rim (Which Touches the pad) of inner piston broke off .

Please suggest as what can be done now . Do I need a rebuilt caliper now .eeuroparts has rebuilt ones made by Cenrtic . How are they in case I need them .

All the help will be appriciated.

Regards
Gopesh
