There is a special tool you could buy somewhere online or at your local dealer. Basically turn your piston clockwise and you will compress it, but to turn it you need that special tool, or try needle nose pliers and alot of elbow grease

Using a C-clamp and a piece of plywood to protect the piston. Also, open the bleeder nut when you start clamping down, to let out the pressure. Make sure you have some way to collect the fluid that comes out, it will make an amazingly large mess on the ground and be extremely difficult to clean up.
How do you compress the rear brake caliper on a 2003 Holden ASTRA City?
turn the centre clockwise while applying pressure at the same time, their is a tool for doing this but I just use an old socket which I welded two peices of 6mm bar to the correct width apart so that they locate into the two small recesses in the centre of the caliper, you can then use an extension on your rachet to turn the piston of the calliper while pushing in on it at the same time.

You replaced the rear pads and rotor on a 2003 Camry there is not enough clearance between the pads for the rotor how do you make the clearence?
I'M NOT exactly sure what you're asking but I think I know. Here goes: I think the problem you're having is that you can't get the caliper assembly (that the new pads sit in) back on, over the rotor. This is because as the old brake pads wore down, the piston inside the caliper moved closer to the rotor. What you need to do is take the new pads out of the caliper assembly. In the center, you will see the round solid end of the piston. What you have to do is get the piston pushed back into the caliper. Try using a LARGE "C" clamp. One side of the clamp on the caliper backside and one side of the clamp on the piston side. Carefully squeeze the clamp together, and the piston will very slowly go back into the caliper. Keep squeezing it until the piston goes all the way back in. Now when you put the new pads back on the caliper, there should be enough room between the pads to slide it over the rotor. Hope this answered your question! Good Luck!! <<ADR>>
How do you depress and remove the front brake calipers on a 2003 Dodge 350 Dually?
you take out the 2 bolts that mount the caliper to the caliper mount. Then you take a small pry bar and push the brake pad closest to the caliper piston so you can get the caliper off, if it doesn't just slide off. then you take one of the old brake pad and a vice grip clamp, you put the brake pad in front of the piston and put the clamp on the brake pad and the back of the caliper and clamp it down until it will fit over the rotor with the new pads on.
