Buy a small universal piston retractor from an auto supply shop (square in shape with strange different shapes coming out of it) find the correct side of the tool, the one that best fits the grooves on the piston. Attach the piston retractor tool to your ratchet Rotate the piston back into the caliper as you would with a bolt or screw.
