with a c clamp. put a block of wood or your old pad over the piston and tighten with clamp.
You can use a large C-Clamp to compress the caliper piston.
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

C or G clamps.
You will need a caliper rewinding tool
If it is the front brake use a "C" clamp to retract piston If it is the rear and the parking brake is used by this caliper piston is threaded and a special tool (not expensive) available at Sears or auto parts to "screw" piston into caliper body
It requires a special tool to turn and compress the piston in at the same time.
AnswerThere is not enough information in your question. A cylinder piston you do not compress, you compress the rings in the piston. There are pistons in the brake system. There is no way of knowing the problem without being more specific.I'm assuming you mean the caliper piston. If it can't be compressed, replace the caliper.
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.

Use a "c" clamp to fully compress piston into caliper body
The teves caliper is a single piston disc brake caliper and the akebono caliper is a dual piston disc brake caliper. The teves caliper is a single piston disc brake caliper and the akebono caliper is a dual piston disc brake caliper.
