Retracting caliper piston help

[4x4fever]

Dummie tech. Never had a car with pistons you twist and I cannot get these to go back in! I've got that universal cube on a ratchet twisting and twisting but they don't go in? Bleeder screw is open. Wtf am I doing wrong

I've never had to deal with them, but try going the other way, and try a c clamp to help push in while twisting. That's all I got. Hope you get it fixed!

What kind of caliper is it? Some don't go all the way into the bore, and you can waste a LOT of time trying to make it do that. Ask me how I know.

Hey I got it! I dunno if there's a tool for this but I took a C clamp mounted the cube used to turn it on the end and commenced to twist and apply pressure. It worked. I hate germans

They ain't the only ones that use those...

Tru, but this passat has given me a fit all weekend so damn them

I had the same problem on my ex's beetle.
