I took my front brakes off and when it came time to put the new ones on I can't push the caliper piston back. I even tried a c- clamp

crack open the bleder valve and then put a c-clamp on it and try to push it down as hard as you can. it will take some force to budge it. with caliper off put a little pressure on the pedal and see if you can budge it. put a 2X4 in it that way the vehicles caliper piston doesnt shoot out.
