First I'd like to say yes i've done a search and yes i've been to Dan's website..

Background: I've changed my pads numerous times so it's not a how do you change thing..

I usually switch from street to race pads before I leave for every event just to help set the pads in.. well I've noticed that sometimes, the rear piston (I have the tool) as I turn it, doesn't go down at all... like I could be spinning it for decades and it won't move. 

Now my procedure is that when I change the fronts, I take the cap off the master cylinder (b/c of the pressure of clamping the pistons down...

When I change the rear's I put the cap back on b/c for some odd reason it won't spin down when it's off.  But this time I was spinning it and it just wasn't doing anything.... I eventually got the caliper on (with a rubber mallet) but I know when I get back I won't be able to get the street pad on (due to wear).  Oh yeah.. i generally don't take of the ebrake cable too. (I don't imagine that has anything to do with it).

Anyone know what is going on? 

All help is appreciated.
