Question Please Help!! Brake question.....

Hey,

I recently was painting my calipers with a buddy when the piston head came out to far preventing us from pushing it back on. My friend without thinking ....(very stupid).... pressed the brakes thinking it would retract it. Obviously it did the opposite extending it further. Anyways I have not been able to get it to retract. Can someone please help me with this problem.........

If you have a large C-clamp you can use that it push the piston back into the caliper.
