bad rear brakes. Caliper piston really hard to reset with tool. About half way in. Battery disconnected and removed some fluid from master. It doesn't seem to thread in it won't turn. What now? Should it be that hard?

Hi ps4895,

If the piston is very hard to turn, you ought to service it. There should be rust on the piston surfaces and forcing it back in would do you no good when it sticks whie running.
