I am replacing the rear brakes of the 2003 93. I cannot get the rear cylinder to retract. Rotating the cylinder clockwise does nothing. What am I missing?

It happen to me with friends car the cylinder on the calipers does not go back. She left the brakes so far out to consume. So my answer is use a C clam to push the cylinder back, but first open the hood of the car open the brake fluids cup. When you push the calipers back with a C clam the fluid will rise is no problem. When you done with both tires on a back push the paddle couple of times and the fluids will go in down like it was before.
