Instead of turning the end of the caliper tool I just turned the nut section by my fingers and the piston retracted. I also previously manually retracted the EPB.
You don't even need that tool. A simpler way is to fully retract the electronic parking brake using a 9 volt battery and alligator clips. Then just simply push the piston back in.
Sorry, I did t need to replace the rotor. There is nothing holding the rotor on except for maybe some rust. Sometimes you need to use a rubber mallet to "convince" it to come loose. It should slide off

Can we get a video on this?
excellent video, thanks...whats the name of the set that you buy in amazon to put the cylinder back in ?
There are a bunch on Amazon, unfortunately they are all made in China.

No grease on the shims?
I didn't. The grease collects brake dust and gums up
Again, another video DID NOT ADDRESS THE ROTOR REMOVAL - ???THX -I Guess…
