does it have notches in caliper? if so pick one up at advance. it will be a little cube with different pins to push the piston back in. they are under ten bucks for it.

use a pair of needle nose and a screwdriver to wind it back in. use the needle nose as the "tits
, and wedge the screw driver through the needle nose to pry on-- think of a cork screw.
or go to harbor freight and pick up the kit to wind in pistons. it is liek 20 bucks, and believe it or not it is not a piece of shit. i picked a set up for my own use, and never had a problem. they now make a set that has a rh thread and lh thread tool which is nice too.

I use needle nose pliers and some force. What works sometimes is give it a slight turn out, then use some force and turn the piston in. Eventually it will go in.
