Brakes problem
2005 Buick La Crosse 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive 62000 miles

I am replacing the brake pads and i started on the passenger rear side like i believe you are supose to and I can not get the plunger on the calliper to compress. I tried a c- clamp and made a jig with a nut welded to a plate and wrenched a bolt through the nut. I didnt go crazy on it cuz I didnt want to break anything. Is there something I am missing or is the calliper shot. Thankyou for your help.

You need to use a caliper tool, and screw the piston in!
