Thanks guys. I thought about the bleeder plugs but the inlet hole for the brake fluid is open (I removed the hard line that comes from the car), so I thought there would not be a back pressure problem upon reinserting the pistons. But I will open them up anyways.

Hey Dave - yes I know about getting them straight as I put them in, however I thought they would bind if I had them misaligned from the beginning, which is why I thought it was wierd that they stopped moving half way down.

I will also try lubing up with brake fluid - it could be that half way down the lubricant on the seals runs out and they get sticky?

If I can't get them in should I use my caliper spreader tool or should I avoid that at all costs so I don't tear the seals?
