Use a c-clamp to compress the piston

c-clamp....cheap/fast. If you wont want to marr your housing, just put a piece of wood between the housing and the end of the c-clamp on the exterior portion not on the piston side

Put the caliper in the rotor and then pry the pads back with a screw driver. Works most the time if you are not replacing rotors with the pads. If you are doing pads and rotors you will need a c-clamp to get the piston in all the way.
