   Rebuilt my rear calipers tonight, much easier than the front ones, or so it seemed! Much more straight forward!
   Anyway, one of them wont wind all the way back in. Its wound half in but now its just spinning but not going further in. It wont just push/press in, and it wont wind in, any ideas?

   Are you using a proper rewind tool? You need to make sure there is a decent amount of pressure on it or it won't wind in

   You dont need the tool, big flat head screw driver will do

   Wind it all the way out, clean the thread and wind it back in.

   Threads are spotless but will try winding it all way out and back in again!
