Have you checked out the Ogre's cave? It's at the top of every page. He has some really good diagrams on the brakes that might help you figure out why your assembly isn't going together.

You need the special brake caliper tool for pushing the piston back in. Harbor Freight has both:

And the more expensive version

Try lubricating the seal with brake fluid if you haven't done so already.
