If it is a piston for the engine you need a ring compressor. it is a wide band that goes around the piston and rings and squeezes then you tap the piston into the cylinder. make sure you oil it.

Mazda lantis 1994.how can I get the brake piston pushed back. I used a G clamp and undid the bleeding nipple but it wont move.

Some pistons do not push back in, they wind back in. You can buy or hire the tool (here in the UK you can) but it can be cheaper to get a local garage to do it. Some wind the same way to retract, but others are handed and the left side goes one way and the right side the opposite.
I am not saying yours does this, but it might be worth investigating. Has the piston got what looks like something that a winding tool will fit to, or is it completely flat faced?

Winding sound from front on chevy 4wd s-10

I have a 97 chevy s10 4x2. I also have a winding sound coming from the same area. I believe it could be one of two things or both, water pump, power steering pump. keep in mind depending on the size motor you have, the 4.3l vortec wich is what I have and the v8 has a natural winding sound to them in that area. you will know a difference when that winding sound becomes more of a needed replacement part. good luck

Compressing the rear caliper i am trying to compress rear caliper with a c clamp and it wont move

Some caliper pistons are the wind back type.
You will need to buy a special tool to wind the piston back with.
Usually fairly cheap .
The Pistons usually wind back in a clockwise motion.
Hope this helps.

Vw golf brakes rear seized

You have to clamp the flexible break hose with the appropriate tool that will not damage hose so that no pressure can go back up the break line when then piston is wound back.You crack the bleed nipple just enough that it only flows out when the pressure from the piston being wound back in pushes it out.Once piston is all the way back in retighten the bleed nipple,reassemble caliper etc and bleed.The reason you vent off fluid this way is not to put back pressure on the ABS,Bleeding the brakes is easier and the worst of the fluid(most stressed)is evacuated from the brake lines.Last thing top up the master cylinder with exactly the same fluid that is in the vehicle.Mixing fluids can be hazardous in respect of the ABS and seals throughout the brake system.When winding your pistons take special care as the pistons wind back in in opposite directions.
