The easiest way is with a "C" clamp.
NO! Brake Calipers are what compress your Brake Pads on to the rotor which turn simeultaniously with your wheels.
No need to rotate the front caliper pistons as you compress the front calipers. That process is only for the rear calipers because of the parking brake mechanism.

To compress the rear brake calipers on a 2008 Taurus X, you will need a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, remove the wheel and brake caliper to access the piston. Then, either use the caliper tool to rotate the piston back into the caliper housing or place the C-clamp over the caliper and gently compress the piston straight back. Ensure the brake fluid reservoir is checked to avoid overflow during this process.
The calipers on a Mazda 6 turn inwards you don't push them to compress them.
