So i tried adding some Dot 5.1 Fluid to my brake pistons, so i can push the left piston back into position, but the little shit just refuses to do so. I opened the bleed port on my levers and tried to push him back too, wont budge.
I went as far of getting me the SRAM bleed kit, for the worst case. Hopefully that wont be necessary, since there is so many different tutorials out there.
I would love to figure it out today since i basicly commute everyday to work.
Any advice?

You’ll have to take piston out , clean it , possibly change it , clean rubber gaskets , possibly change the too. No easy fix unfortunately
Add more oil.
How are you trying to push it back?
Take the pads out and use a plastic tyre lever against the centre of the pistons. This will give quite a bit more leverage.
If the system had been overfilled, then make sure that the bleed screw on the lever is removed to allow any excess to escape.
