Failed rear brake caliper

I was driving on my way home from work yesterday & I started to noticed my brakes are started to squeal again everytime I applied my brakes, so decide to inspect and clean & repaste it with mb anti squeal brake paste but when I tried to push the piston (normally it should be easy and you can use a screw driver) it wont move I ended up using c-clamp for me to compress it. I still don't know what the cause of it to fail, the piston booth, seal looks okay but who knows what's happening inside. Anyway, I replaced it this morning and the noise are gone as expected.

Joe change your E55 fluid in your brake system. The old oil is heating up around the brake pistons and since the oil is broken down from heat it turns to a paste and holds the piston from returning when the brake is released. If you use your brakes hard every month from driving hills in your area change the fluid every 4-6 months. If you race on the weekends then change weekly.

Have fun, nice watch! I love my Panerai’s
