I was changing out my brakes today and went to turn the left rear caliper piston and it wouldn't budge. I was literally putting about 250ft-lb of torque on it and I got it to turn about 15 degrees. I'm assuming my caliper is bad? The right rear was fine, I had no problem twisting the piston back into the caliper. And yes I was turning it the right direction.
