Default How to install hand break / push piston in caliper)

Hello Expert,
My uncle's friend would like change his break for this S40 2001 model. I appreciate if some one could comment on how to install new hand break ? Is it pad or with the Caliper where piston push the break pads ?

If it is caliper, how to push is back. Just use C-clamp put slight pressure on or you have to turn (clock / anti-clock direction).

Many thanks for your time.

c-clamp gently applying pressure to piston then use needle nose to turn clock wise.. as it goes in tighten a bit on the c-clamp.. if it won't turn your piston probably seized.
