When rebuilding Alloy S calipers, what is the trick to getting the piston back in the bore? I put the springs back in the SS pistons, but can only seem to get the piston 1/4 of the way in. I used a clamp to apply pressure and the piston goes in, but as soon as the clamp is removed, the spring back out. What am I doing wrong?
