I've done it two ways.

1) I made piece to press the seal retainer in out of hardwood (because 
woodworking is another hobby and I have the tools). It fit over the 
piston and pushes (using a C-clamp) the seal retainer in using the 
piston as its guide.

I lost that piece so:

B) I utilize one of the old seal retainers - positioned upside down 
over the new retainer. I partially install the piston, put the new 
seal & retainer in place and then the old retainer outboard of that. 
Use a C-clamp and an old brake pad to press the whole lot into place.
