    why do you need to push the piston back out?

    have you tried pulling the handbrake? or pushing on the brakes?

    On my motorbike I drained the fluid and just used brute force on the piston and pushed it back in

    take brake fluid cap off and either push piston in using a small block of wood and pressing on it or if its like saxo ones might need to wind them back in with a screwdriver.
