Hello,

I changed out my rear rotors today on my 2000 es300. Drivers side went well,
but had a major probem with getting my caliper back in position to allow my new pads to be installed.

The middle cylinder went in with a charm, however the top pivot arm does not seem to be able to be compressed back in ?? It pivits up and down fine, however, it does not want to be compressed so that there is enough clearance for my outer pad.

Could it be seized? Can someone help me pls
thanks in Canada
