Another trick is put the piston that did come out back in, place a heavy
bar in the disc slot to prevent the loose piston from coming out then apply
air pressure.  That ensures that the reluctant piston receives full
pressure.
The tool in the pic attached is stage 2 if that doesn't work ... grease gun.
