I made a silly mistake to which i would like to fix but not sure how. I took off my rear brake pads and totally forgot to pump my brakes 12 times to relieve pressure on the piston caliper and it wont let me put on the new pads cause they need to be put back. I went to autozone and they told me to buy c-clamps to put the piston back and they wont fit on the type of setup it is. I tried to bleed the brakes to relieve pressure to the piston but maybe that was unnecessary but i am just not sure at all what to do next to finish the job right. If anyone knows something i would appreciate it to be back on the road again.

 

Any type of clamp you can fit over the caliper that will depress the piston, would work. I've used those quick clamps from Vise-Grip before.

 

Some Honda models require you to turn the rear piston while pushing it in. There's a tool you can get at Autozone to help you do this; it looks like a small metal cube, which fits onto a ratchet and it has metal pins which fit into the slots on the piston to hold the piston so you can use the ratchet to turn the cube and with it the piston.
