Is this common?
Went to change the brakes and tried to compress the piston with a heavy duty C-clamp... didn't budge... NEITHER ONE!
Ive done everything except remove the hand brake from the unit (no the brake is not engaged). Anyone have tips?

Real common……C clamps never work on the rear.
Put away the C-clamp and find some allen wrenches.

Hopefully no damage done. Retract the piston with Allen screw, as mentioned above.
Nope no damage done, except to my ego. Lol
Been one of those days, thanks everyone for the advice.
I do have a question about these, what goes here?

It is where the ABS sensor would go.
