You have to push real hard. Eventually it should catch and turn in.

it may not go in cuz its damaged! i tried with the tool for 1 1/2 the i said f-it took it apart and found out it was messed up so I just got another. If i was you i would do the larger caliper/rotor swap. This braking system is garbage IMO! :cry:

GM has a defect in the rear brakes i'm not to sure what years but they will never turn back in. I sent a day trying with everything and nothing. But now we have learn and get the calpair replaced. Gm was sued over this and I got $60.00 even though he sent $600.00
