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.

You can't compress the piston on your 1992 olds Cutlass S?

AnswerThere is not enough information in your question. A cylinder piston you do not compress, you compress the rings in the piston. There are pistons in the brake system. There is no way of knowing the problem without being more specific.I'm assuming you mean the caliper piston. If it can't be compressed, replace the caliper.

How do you compress caliper piston 997 Porsche?

Similar to any other caliper piston, you might used a C-Clamp that has been covered in some protective coating to prevent it scratching the caliper. Ideally the C-Clamp would not directly compress the piston edge but some piece of flat metal, laid out in a way that would allow it to spread the force across the piston's diameter.
