Default Help!! Brake Piston!

Can someone tell me how to install the brake piston into the calipur?? The piston won't go into the calipur by just trying to push it in.. Do i have to use a C-clamp to clamp the piston into the calipur and then install the calipur?? How do I do this... HELP can't go to work!!

Is it the front or rear? If it's the rear, you have to take a needlenose pliers or anything else that might work, and turn the piston clockwise to 'screw' it into the cylinder. The fronts I've never taken all the way out before, but they shoud press in with a c-clamp. At least that's how I do it when I take the caliper off. If it's the fronts, are you sure the hollow end of the piston is facing out?

For both front or rear, you also have to pay attention to the rubber piston seal. Make sure it's not hanging up on the edge of the cylinder.
