You can use a C clamp and push it back.

thanks!

Just make sure you first remove some fluid from the master cylinder reservoir or else you'll make a mess.

alright i will thanks!

Only if you've been topping up the reservoir.

you dont have to remove any fluid. just loosen the cap a little so that the brake fluid can flow without hiccups.

easiest way to push back the brake caliper cylinders is to leave the old brake pads in there and use pliers (insert between pads and open instead of closing) but that requires removing the caliper completely aside from the brake hose.
