I don't know why you guys are wasting your time with C clamps.
I just use a Ben T steel rod and leverage it against the steel backing plate
of the friction material and it pushes the plunger back before I remove the
locking pins.

If you haven't added fluid as your pads wore, you shouldn't have to remove
fluid when you compress the pistons -- which BTW, I push in with large
C-clamps.
