I have used a large "C" clamp, to compress the caliper flush to the face.
Replace the caliper and bleed the brake system.
If the emergency brake is not connected to the caliper use a "c" Clamp If the emergency brake is connected to that caliper a special tool (not expensive available at Sears or auto parts) is needed Caliper is threaded. Turn Clockwise to compress

You can use a large C-Clamp to compress the caliper piston.
7MM
Caliper front? Use a "C" Clamp Caliper rear? Threaded Need a special tool available at Sears or auto parts (Not expensive)
yes...it depends on which caliper you have...there are 2 different ones
there is a special tool that can be purchased at any auto parts store made specifically for compressing brake caliper pistons. I personally use a 4 inch c-clamp. works every time.

Lift the car, remove the tire, remove the brake shoe and caliper, and remove the old brake pad. Dispose of the old brake pad, put in the new brake pad, replace the brake shoe/caliper, replace the tire and lower the car to the ground.
