Raptor 700 Rear Brake Trouble

2007 Raptor 700. I bought some new rear pads, pulled the old ones off. For some reason I can't get the piston pushed back into the caliper. I know that it is supposed to be turned counter clockwise to retract the piston. I have turned on it both ways and I am getting no where. I tried using a clamp to compress it back in. I didn't get anywhere and didn't want to mess something up. Anyone know what might be the problem? and how to fix?

Turn the piston clockwise, you may have to remove the reservoir cap to allow the fluid to be displaced.

Did that. Rotated it both directions. Resivoir cap was off as well as the bleeder screw was out. I have done everything short of taking the caliper off and taking it apart.
