Re: i hate doin brake work
Are you sure the vice isnt hitting the caliper? Ive never used a vice for pushing a piston back in. Try a C clamp and use one of your old pads. If it doesn't want to go back in, you need to buy a new caliper.

Bingo ^^^ The use of a vise may cause the piston to cock in the bore and jam it up, It needs to have even pressure to slide back in.

Re: i hate doin brake work
the other thing that you need to check is if the c clamp doesnt work disconnect the caliper from the rubber line and try it then.. Ive heard stories of lines collapsing and not letting the fluid out of the caliper...
and yes poke brake work can definately suck lol

Re: i hate doin brake work
You can put in all new lines, calipers, pads, and rotors for under $200. Do it right!
