The caliper on my Ford Windstar will not - retract what wrong is with it?

One cause is that the cylinder the caliper piston moves in has scores - grooves worn in the cylinder walls that the edge of the piston is catching on.
One of the easiest approaches would be to replace the caliper with a remanufactured / rebuilt one.

How do you push in rear caliper piston on a Ford 500?
Have noticed that Ford still uses the screw style pistons on the rear calipers. To retract the piston use either a caliper/piston tool or a set of needle nose pliers. Turn the piston clockwise to get it back in but take note of the position of the grooves as they normally need to align so that a imaginary straight line through the grooves points to the center of the caliper.
