im assuming you mean the caliper piston. they make a tool for it but you can use pliers to turn in clockwise and keep pressure on it and it will go in. you may be turning awhile but it will work.

Retract caliper piston on Ford Freestar 2005?

The piston retracts by turning it back in. You will need a Disc Brake Pad Spreader (Part Number: 648412) and a Disc Brake Piston Tool (Part Number: 648410) found at Advance Auto Parts. The Brake Piston Tool looks like a Rubik cube. Simply line up the knobs into the piston slots and place the disc brake pad spreader between the caliper and brake piston tool. Apply slight pressure on the piston via the pad spreader and turn the brake piston tool with a screw driver while continuing to apply pressure on the brake piston tool. From what I have read they could retracted by turning either clockwise or counterclockwise.

What happens in the brake system of a car from the time a driver steps on the brake pedal to the time the car stops?

First the driver puts pressure in the foot brake, which then pushes a small piston, the piston then exerts pressure in the brake fluid. Then the increased pressure is transmitted through the fluid in the brake lines to a larger piston within the wheels of the car. Each piston pushes in a brake pad which the rubs against the brake disc, and the wheels motion is slowed down by the force of friction.
