It would be best with the bleeder open, but then you will need to bleed the system with a power bleeder. My thought was some build up in the cylinder that may be restricting motion.

My thanks out to MudManiac: Holla! You helped get me on track with the rear caliper pistons. I took one apart, found it to be badly corroded and uncooperative, got a near new set of rear calipers from the wreckers for a good price (pads almost new; calipers still semi-shiny; lines in good shape; couplings all good), installed them, and I'm off to the races... so to speak.

My thanks to all the members who took time to help out.
