87 Rear Piston won't push back in
I got an 87 camaro with rear DM calipers and I can't screw the pistons back in. I have the proper tool to twist the piston and push it back in but it just won't go back in. I can get the piston to turn but it only turns a little bit and stops turning and it won't go in at all. What am I missing???

What I did with mine when I still had them was to take off the arm on the back and turn the screw in a bit push in the Piston some. And repeat till it's all the way in. I did it that way to avoid damage to the seal around the screw.

daferris, thanks I will give that a try.
Galaxie500xl, I was suspecting the hose could be acting as a check valve but the car only has 45K miles on it. I'm going to pull the banjo bolt off and check it if the suggestion daferris gave me does work.
