you should be able to just push them in.. you're gonna have to compress it all the way to get it to fit over the rotor.

on the front use a c clamp. on the back you have to screw the piston back in. i used a pair of needle nose pliers and had them spread out to go into the slots... its a pain but you dont have to buy the tool.....

unless you broke the like (getting air in the system) you shouldn't have to bleed the brakes.
if you did you should bleed all 4
