You will need special brake caliper tool such as a C-clamp to push back the piston on the caliper of a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer.
To push the rear caliper piston back, you'll need a caliper tool or a C-clamp. First, remove the wheel and brake pads to access the caliper. Then, insert the tool or place the C-clamp over the caliper with one side against the piston and the other against the caliper body, and gently tighten it to push the piston back into the caliper. Make sure to check the brake fluid reservoir, as pushing the piston back may cause fluid to rise and overflow.
There is a 14 mm bolt on back of caliper. Remove this & use a 4 mm Allen wrench to back piston into caliper.
There is a specialty tool for this procedure. There is a metal plate that fits on the piston, then a clamp for the back of the caliper. Turning a screw will pull in the caliper. Opening the bleeder valve may be necessary.
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.

if it is the caliper at the rear u need the special tool to turn the piston clockwise to push in and counterclockwise to pull out
In most cases, no, however if you are having issues getting the piston into the caliper, it may be seized, or it may be a turn in caliper.
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.

They need to be wound back in, using a special tool, a G-clamp also work to push it back, with the rotating part on the caliper piston.
center the piston cup with a Clamp and turn back slow until the cup set back in place
it screws back in....special tool helpful
