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 rear brake cylinder in a 2005 Honda accord?
If this is an Accord with rear drum (did they still make those in 05?) replace the cylinder. If it doesn't push in easily it is frozen and will never work again. Otherwise: Unmount the caliper and remove the pads. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the caliper parking brake lever. Use a purpose built tool (preferably not the cube shaped thing) to rotate the piston clockwise as it pushes the piston inward. Verify that the notch in the piston aligns with the teat of the brake pad. If not, rotate the piston counterclockwise until the notch is positioned to positively engage with the teat.

AnswerRaise and support the vehicle w/ jack stands. Remove the front wheel assemblies. Remove the two bolts holding the brake caliper onto the hub assembly. Slide the caliper off of the rotor. Be sure to compress the caliper piston back down, w/ a c-clamp or caliper piston tool. Install the new pads, reassembly the caliper to the hub assembly, properly tighten all bolts. Reinstall the wheels and lower the vehicle. BE SURE TO PUMP UP THE BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE MOVING THE CAR! I say that from my own personal experience....Good luck!

To squeeze the piston back inside the caliper, you need to twist and push in on the piston. Turn the piston clockwise with a big screwdriver if you do not have the correct tool to do so. A large prybar works good for this. Eddie
How do you push down the caliper on an 08 Honda accord?
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.
How do you install rear brake pads and caliper on a 94 Honda Accord?
I assume you could not compress the caliber, The caliber on the Accord must be turned while being compressed, There is a special tool for this. Some Auto Parts stores will lend you the tool if you purchase the pads from them. Answer: When buying ammunition, be sure and specify the proper caliber. When buying brake parts for your Honda Accord, you'll need to compress the caliper, not the caliber.
