All, I made a dumb mistake. I squeezed the brakes while thr brake pads were out. Now the brake pistons are extended and won't retrack. I loosened the bleeder valve and was able to get the piston on one side fairly far down [brake still won't fit]. The sled side piston is further out and has retracted slightly but not very much. Will getting the assembly off and putting c clamps on the pistons potentially rectify rhe issue or is it permanently jacked and should just get a new assembly. Many thanks in advanced.

Welcome to Dootalk!

Yes you will need to put a C clamp on it to be able to retract it back in.

Appreciate the follow up. Cclamp it is.

Did this c clamp work? I’m in same position.

A C-clamp will always work on any caliper as long as it will fit over it and the caliper is not completely seased.
