Dirt Bike: Rear brake Caliper and Piston Problem.?

i am recently changing my rear break pads but in order to fit the new ones on i need the piston on the caliper to move back into the caliper body so i can install the new and much thicker break pads.

the problem: i cant get the piston back into the caliper far enough to make room for the new ones.

I tried pushing and twisting it back in but it wont budge.

What do i need to do?

Thanks alot

and i took the bleeder pin out and pressed the rear brake and brake oil came out of the bleeder hole.

I think i may have to add new brake fluid... but is it possible i pumped the piston too far out??

thanks alot guys

Did you put grease on the piston? Clean the piston off first. Make sure that you do not get any on the break pads. Hopefully that will help
