Another way is to  feed a length of rope into the cylinder and gently ease
the piston up against it.  I like this as you don't have to worry about
keeping air on it if you have to stop mid-job.  Plus, with air you can still
break the valve seal and drop it.  The rope method insures that this will
not happen.  BTW, tie a large knot in the end of the rope so it can't slip
all the way in!

Best regards,
