Put a c clamp on it, and squish the piston slowly back in. Caution, it will overflow your master cylinder as the fluid gets forced back, turkey baster works to suck out fluid first. I don't know the model you are working on, some unbolt, some just have a spring and retainer that you drive out with a dull punch or screwdriver. Caution, after reassembling, pump brakes lightly a couple times before driving, they won't work until the piston gets pushed out to contact the pads. Also, put pads in with fiber side towards rotor, or rotor won't last long.
