Thought I was down on power--turns out, I was dragging a brake. Pulled off the caliper, and one pad is worn more than the other (odd), pads are nice and free though. I put in the tool to compress the piston back in, and it didn't budge. I cracked the bleeder and was able to get a pinch of fluid out with more effort than it should take.
I took a pair of water pump pliers and attempted to twist the piston, and it wouldn't twist. Should it have a bit of twist?
I'd like to bust it loose--I'm not finding a caliper in stock and I kinda need the vehicle at the end of the holiday weekend. It's my Tundra, rear disc caliper, but it's a simple caliper setup (no integrated parking brake).
Edit: Looks like O'Reilly's is indicating in stock.
