Its on a 'staircase' pawl. Twist. push, twist, push etc.
Use a 12mm (about 1/2inch) hex key to rotate the piston at center hole. no need to push, just rotate. Before rotation don't forget to let the handbake off, and brake fluid reservoir open.
Check the piston gaskets and replace if needed (Ford Mondeo MK3 compatible), the set for the Ford Mondeo is about 11$ per caliper.

You will have very hot rear rotors from the constant rubbing.
