Your pic isn't working. Are you using a "C" clamp?

I was able to push it back some but loosing the rotor.....I can get a flat head screwdriver in between the piston and rotor, but non of the pistons won't go back anymore all the pistons are all stuck at the same height

The piston are probably hitting the seals since it doesn't look like they going back in straight best thing you can do is if you can take out the caliper you can try to push back in straight or take out the piston and lube it up then try to push back in hopefully the seals didn't get messed up
