Default Trouble getting the rotor off the rear caliper

Any tips? I've opened the bleed valve and am trying to compress with a 10" wood vise but no luck. What am I missing?

The piston in the caliper screws in and you can get a loaner tool from AutoZone.

While pushing the piston in it needs to be twisted too. We have a kit available to make the job much easier but unfortunately its on back order.

Heres what it looks like.



Let me know if you have any questions.
