are you trying to push the piston or turn it back in ???
some time if the wont push back try turning it with a big pilers
i take it you released the hand brake
if you cant get the piston back in open the bleed nipple and push it back then
thanks for the fast reply
I'm trying to push it back, it is pressing against the disk.. so should i try turning it if the push wont work?
thanks

yeah try that i cant remember its a while since i had a 205 make sure the hand brake is totally released then if its still not moving open the bleed nipple and push it back might be handier to take the caliper off the axle.

use some wd40 or whatever you have to hand incase the caliper is a bit tight ;)
