So I loaned my TDI to someone... someone who will never be loaned a vehicle again- and they royally screwed my rear brakes up. It took quite a while to remove the calipers, as they were locked up, to replace the rotors. While attempting to wind back the caliper piston... I realized I was not getting anywhere. They would wind, but the booting never compressed, and the piston never went back in, even after maybe 20-30 revolutions, they never seemed to move. Is it possible that the piston was so far extended that they simply will not go back in now? I'm having this problem on both sides. Am I now out 200 dollars for new calipers, or can they be repaired. Am I correct in assuming that when I start turning the piston, it should go right back in without many revolutions?
Please help! My car is now sitting in a parking lot, 30 miles from home!
