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.

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.
To fix a sticky brake caliper piston, first, remove the caliper from the brake assembly and inspect the piston for dirt and corrosion. Clean the piston with brake cleaner and use a soft brush to remove debris. If the piston is still sticking, consider using a caliper rebuild kit to replace seals or the piston itself. Finally, reassemble the caliper and ensure proper lubrication of moving parts before reinstalling.
The caliper piston may not be compressing properly due to air or moisture in the brake system, a faulty caliper seal, or a blocked brake line.
The brake caliper piston may not be retracting properly due to issues such as a seized piston, worn out seals, or air in the brake system. These issues can prevent the piston from moving back smoothly, affecting the brake performance.
To retract the brake caliper piston on a G20 Infiniti, you'll need a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, remove the caliper from the rotor by unbolting it, then position the tool or C-clamp over the caliper piston and gently turn or squeeze to push the piston back into the caliper housing. Ensure you do this slowly to avoid damaging the piston or seals. Finally, reassemble the caliper and check brake fluid levels before testing the brakes.
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
To compress a caliper piston, you can use a brake caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, ensure the brake fluid reservoir cap is loosened to avoid pressure buildup. Then, position the tool or clamp against the piston and the back of the caliper, and slowly apply pressure until the piston is fully retracted. Be cautious not to damage the piston or the caliper during the process.
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.
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.
