First attempt at a rear brake job on our 2022 F54. I'm swapping my worn original pads for EBC Redstuff. I used Bimmerlink to put her in service mode and retract the rear pistons. Got it all ready to reassemble and the caliper won't fit over the new pads.
Double-checked the fitment guide, no problem there. Eventually figured out that the piston isn't in far enough, because there's barely enough room in there for the old pads plus rotor. An extra 20mm isn't going to fit. Tried compressing the piston more by turning it clockwise with a crescent wrench. It moves freely going counter-clockwise, but stops decisively, right where it's at for the clockwise direction.
Any ideas?
