HELP! rear SE brake piston wont return

i was taking out the caliber and when i wanted to assemble everything i could not get the piston to return all the way to even get it back on.

heres way happened: i was dumb enough to press the brake when the calipers were swung out.

Please i really need to get the piston back it to be atleast running, right now its on stands.

i tried unscrewing the bleed hole and pumping all the fluid out, but it wont budge.

I haven't performed a brake job in a while but I believe you need to push in while turning the piston to the right. It kinda screws back in. Not positive but I believe that's how it goes.

They have a tool to screw them back in. Or use some needle nose pliers..

These are the rear brakes that are giving you a problem?

I did a whole write-up a week ago search for pad change or brakes and it should come up. The short answer is that the piston needs to be rotated back in, not pushed at all.

Search. Its been covered alot.
