Clamps and bars are for lifters. I pushed it back in by brute force with my hands. :P

If your doing the rears remeber to twist the piston back in not push it. Read haynes to see what i mean

Ditto, then i found an easier way, brace the back agaisnt tyhe hub to strut section, and pout the jack handle accross the piston, take a step back and lean onot it, piss easy to push in poutting your weight behind it, and you don't end up wiht lines accfross your hands for hours afterwards
