i put pressure on the old pad and the pistons moved back in. not a lot of force was required. after i got the old pad out i tried using a piece of wood but it was too long so i used a ratchet extension and my fingers to push the piston back in being careful not to push on the middle of the piston but instead on the outer part of it. it wasn't hard. though i had to be careful because pushing one in made the other want to come back out a little. i replaced one pad at a time rather than pull out both and try to replace both at once.
