I used a big c clamp and a block of wood to push the pistons in. The pistons retracted a little past the seal. I cranked very hard--it was difficult to get a good hold on the caliper with it detached from the car--until it would really go further (rather it seemed the pistons were just denting the wood). How far in is the piston supposed to go?
