I was about to give up and go to the bike shop because I couldn't get the pistons to recede enough but your trick worked and was a lifesaver! Thank you!

Great tip! Also, remember that the pistons' travel might be limited because the brake lines were bled and had a little bit more fluid added since the last pad change. In that case, you'll need to carefully crack open the bleeding valve, making sure that you apply pressure to the piston while doing so. This will purge a small amount of fluid that'll allow you to push the pistons back further. Make sure to tighten the valve back as you're still applying pressure to ensure that no air gets in.

Hi.. your technique ALMOST worked for me. But my caliper has 4 cylinder, and it was hard to push all 4 at the same time. So I tried using TAPERED WOOD SHIMS, and it worked very well. Plus, the wood is soft.

Initially I wanted to avoid tapered shims because I figured they tilt the pistons, but it just occurred to me that you can use TWO shims from opposite sides to counter that (which is maybe what you did?). Also I had no idea multiple pistons per side are even a thing, guess you learn something new every day 😌

Good tips! Sometimes I observed that one side pop inwards faster than another, so the better solution is use the thin thickness wrench and hold that faster one and push brake lever to let the stuck one out and lubricant it, rollback again, use tips as this video shown. Then try out few time to make sure both side of piston pop out evenly and smoothly. It would avoid further abnormal deceleration and annoying noise.

I bought brand new hydraulic brakes for my brothers bike, and the first thing that idiot does is remove the red thing and squeeze a lever
