NOT A GOOD DAY

Here is the rear caliber. There are two .156 dia. holes in the piston that appear to be for pins as if there should be a tool that would allow you to rotate the piston. I rented a kit for pressing the pistons back into their bore from an auto parts store, but all the pin plates were the wrong size.

UPDATE No2

Today I watched as the flatbed truck drove away with my Spyder on it's way to the dealer. The dealer ordered a new rear caliber as they also could not get the piston to retract. They promased me that I would have it back in time for our departure next Thursday for the Spyder Rendezvous. Keeping my fingers crossed :chill:

I'm sorry, I've been so busy I never got any further than replying to your PM/Email.

0.315" is exactly what it should be so that isn't the problem. I would say a new caliper will resolve the issue. I wonder why the piston would not retract completely?

Now that is the $64,000 question!

The bad thing is if the dealer replaces it under warranty we'll never know the reason. The good thing is you'll have it fixed and in good order.
