You have to retract the parking brake(disconnect the cable first) by unscrewing the 4mm hex covered by a 15mm plug with a copper washer in the inboard side of the caliper. Unscrew it until it stops and then you should be able to push in the caliper piston no problemo. Duane "> The subject says it all.
