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.

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.
