How does the Brake Piston Cube work?
The Brake Piston Cube is a cube-shaped tool used to retract brake caliper pistons in vehicles when changing brake pads. Its design allows it to fit into the caliper housing and apply even pressure to retract the pistons back into the caliper, facilitating easier brake pad replacement. By turning the Brake Piston Cube, the pistons are compressed uniformly without damaging the caliper or seals.
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.

You can not 'press' this piston back into the cylinder.
