You may need a special tool to turn the piston back
a g-clamp and 2 thin pieces of wood do the job, but make sure your brake fluid Reservoir under the bonnet doesnt spill due to some of it being sent back.
you need a special wind back tool to do it,you may need to take it to a garrage unless you can borrow one,but note you need different attachment's for different car's & one side is clockwise the other anti.
you can buy the wind back kits in any motor accessory shop, failing this you can use vise grips and a screwdriver but it will take a wee bit longer
