If you mean to push them back in as when installing new brake shoes, they have to be screwed in. There is a special tools available, but in a pinch a pair of channel locks can be used.
The teves caliper is a single piston disc brake caliper and the akebono caliper is a dual piston disc brake caliper. The teves caliper is a single piston disc brake caliper and the akebono caliper is a dual piston disc brake caliper.
replace brake hose they colaspe
it can be done with a C clamp and a block of wood. ( to prevent burring piston edges.) remember to loosen the brake fluid reservoir top first.
If it is the front brake use a "C" clamp to retract piston If it is the rear and the parking brake is used by this caliper piston is threaded and a special tool (not expensive) available at Sears or auto parts to "screw" piston into caliper body
Use a "c" clamp to fully compress piston into caliper body
Could be a frozen piston inside the caliper Could be a defective brake hose Could be a damaged (pinched) brake line
Hydraulic force, transmitted by the brake fluid.
The rear brakes you need a 3/8 standard wrench to open two bolts retaining the caliper. The piston caliper requires a special tool to "wind " it or screw it back in order to install the new brake pads. DO NOT PRESS THE CALIPER PISTON BACK. You have to "screw" or rotate it.

You can use a large C-Clamp to compress the caliper piston.
The piston is forced out of the caliper by the pressure of the brake fluid. This pushes the brake pads against the rotor, in turn stopping the vehicle.
Remove caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor Use a "C" clamp to fully retract piston into caliper body If parking brake is used on this caliper piston is threaded and a special tool (not expensive) is required to thread piston into caliper body
Front caliper pistons can be compressed by hand using a clamp on the old brake pad, etc. Rear caliper pistons on this model Mustang need to be "twisted" back into place using a special tool. Go to your local parts tool and ask for brake caliper reset tool and they should know what you mean. The idea here is that you use the special tool to turn the piston while applying force to push it back.
