88 rx7 rear left side caliper. need help

I removed all everything out of my way while changing my pads and rotors, I used a caliper rewind tool to push the pistion back in and it went in fine... but I had to call it quits because it got too dark to see so I firgued I would finish up tomorrow ie as in today........

so today i go out and i noticed the piston came back out on its own and wasn't not pushed in anymore after I done gone and had it in the bore yesturday.... so i'm like ok whatever i get the caliper rewind tool out again but this time the piston will not budge! I can sometimes budge it an inch or so but thats all.

whats my problem or what happen to it over night?

by the way this is an 88 non turbo 4 lug and its the rear left side on car caliper
