You will have to remove the cap from the Master cylinder.This will release the pressure on the braking system and should allow you to easily compress the caliper piston. * * * * * Be sure to wrap a cloth around the master cylinder, because when you do this brake fluid gets all over everything and it's a very good solvent--it especially likes to dissolve paint. And then use a big C-clamp to compress the piston. Even with the pressure released it still takes some work to compress caliper pistons.
