Hi. Trying to replace rear brake pads and the piston is stuck. Can't get it to push all the way in. Using C-Clamp and WD40 to losen case, but is still not working. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

It isn't seized, and you may have ruined the caliper.

The piston needs to be turned while being compressed. The best way is to get a special tool for that, although it can be done otherwise....but a real pain.
