You can get a caliper piston compressor tool at most autoparts supply stores. Some even loan them for free if you buy your parts from them. Another option I've used is a thin piece of plywood [to protect the face of the piston] combined with a "C" clamp to press the piston back into the caliper. Usually, once the piston is fully returned into the caliper, the clamp and plywood can be removed without the piston moving back out. If it does, then recompress it, and just slightly "crack" open the bleeder screw [only momentarily to relieve the hydraulic pressure]. Then the piston should remain fully inside the caliper after the clamping pressure is removed. Good luck.

How does the gravitational force between two objects that are close together compared to the gravitational force between two objects as they move farther apart?

As the objects move farther apart, the gravitational force between them decreases. Every time the distance between them doubles, the force between them drops 75%.
