2008 Taurus AWD and I cannot get the caliper to compress back to its starting point. I had the wifey pump the brakes once and it will move out so it is most likely not a stuck caliper. What am I missing?

Most rear calipars also need to be turned at the same time they are being pushed back in. The are special tools that allow you to compress and turn the calipar back into position

you can't use a c-clamp it has to be twisted back in go to an auto parts store and you could rent the tool

Turning was the key. Big thank you.
