Are you turning and pushing in at the same time? Sometimes those calipers want to be a pain in the ass.

you are not kidding.. i am taking that bitch back.. it was a pain in the ass to do but i got it done with needle nose pliers.. the hard part about that is not tearing shit up while your putting every ounce of force on an object that isnt even 1/4 inch wide and turning..
