If you cannot get the piston to compress all the way, you may consider taking the caliper off the hub and using a c-clamp with a block of wood over the piston to compress it. I would open the bleeder valve so the fluid has a place to go and wont overflow the master cylinder. Of course have a means of catching the fluid coming out. You should atleast bleed or change the brake fluid with the pads anyway.

I will be changing my pads sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. I was suprised to see how thick new pads are, they are like 5 times the thickness of my worn out pads right now!

Which pad did you change to?
