Try rotating the pistons slightly while pushing them in. The problem is
that the psitons hit the edge of the seal protruding from its groove in the
bore. Careful though, it's easy to damage the seal by forcing the piston.
Incidentally, I prefer to use brake grease instead of brake fluid. Less
aggressive, better lubricating properties, won't leak out, and it was made
for the purpose.

Seals between the two caliper halves?
