Let's stay on topic, people. Let's pretend I have brand new rotors.

I'll look for the depressurizing screw.

NO no no no NO! You dont want to take that screw off because the copper crush washers usually do not seat back correctly, AND you have to bleed the system. If you unscrew that you might need to go get more crush washers, and you need to clamp the line to do that.

Go inside the car and pump the breaks untill the effort becomes very soft. This should relieve the pressure in the drum and you should be able to move the piston back. Dont forget to uncap the fluid resivor under the hood. Also, go borrow a c-clamp, it makes it so much easier.
