Default Brake Caliper Question

I Am putting on my new rotors and i'm just about finished except for the fact the the rear pass. caliper piston won't screw back in. I tried draining the fluid from the caliper but to no avail. I Don't know if the car needs a new caliper or if I am doing something wrong. Please Help.

are you using the right tool to screw it in? is it already screwed all the way in?
