Use a large pair of needle-nose pliers to turn the piston back into the caliper. There is also a "special tool" available which helps push in while turning, but I have never had to use it.

There's a little screw on the side of the caliper with a whole in the top of it. Loosen that a little bit and you should just be able to push in the caliper. They make a tool which is basically a bar and a screw so the bar pushes on the mounting part of the caliper and the screw pushes on the caliper piston.
