Best Answer

once you separate thecaliper from the brake pad, look at the piston, it should have two small indentations on the face. the piston screws in and out. you will need a tool to do this. this tool can be purchased at your local auto parts store. it is a cube shaped device with a square drive. insert the tool into the inserts and rottate the piston counter-clockwise until the piston bottoms out in the caliper.note- the tool you can purchase is usually made of aluminum or pot metal meaning you might get threeor four good uses out of it.
