    Trick is to use a pair of long nose pliers to rotate the piston into the caliper. Other than that, it should be straight-forward. Get a Hayne's Manual for your car, if still in doubt.

    Can you tell me which way to rotate them in? Clock wise or counter clock wise?
    WOuld you explain how this piston works? When you step on the brake pedal is the piston rotate out to force the pads to the rotor?

    Many thanks,
