The piston does look clean so I guess not corrosion thats stopping it from going back in.
Using a C-clamp, although a good idea will only really work if the piston is lined up correctly. What I would do is (carefully) using a screw driver try and push the piston in with moderate force, work the way around the piston at 12 oclock, 3 oclock, 6 oclock and so on.....you will suddenly (well you should) suddenly feel it give and start to move back into the caliper....then you should be able to finish the job with the c-clamp. -------------------- |
