The rear brake piston can only be pushed back in using a special tool. Or you can use a needle nose plier and turn it back in. Be careful not to puncture the gasket. The front brake piston can be pushed back in using a c-clamp.

Remember to lubricate the slide pins.

Make sure you put some anti-squealer on the shims.

Bleed the brake fluid while you are at in.
