> The piston has to turn clockwise while being compressed.  You CAN do this
> task with a large C-clamp and water pump pliers.   The best way to do it is
> with the appropriate tool:
> http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/LIS-25000.html    This kit includes
> several fixtures of different size with pins to match the openings in the
> piston that go on the end of a threaded rod that also has a threaded bar to
> fit inside the fingers of the caliper to provide the pressure you need
> along with the twisting motion. 
> 
> There are other tools like the little cubes that go on the end of a ratchet
> wrench extension that have pins to fit into the "V" openings in the piston
> face, but these generally are pretty cumbersome to manipulate while also
> providing adequate compression.  Real knucklebusters.
