You shouldn't have to take material off the pads... have you opened
the bleeder to let the pressure off? Also there is a tool, looks like
an odd-shaped cube, that is designed to screw the piston back in the
caliper. Edit, found it (see 2nd item):
http://www.matcotools.com/Catalog/toolcatalog.jsp?cattype=T&cat=2201
That may be what you need, I ran into the same problem on the '95
Gutless. I didn't buy the tool but I ended up figuring a way to screw
the piston in... can't recall how though... Take a look at the piston
and see if it has indentions for a tool.
