Cheaper solution...

Take a pair of needle nose pliers and place the tips in each of the notches on the piston. Push in and turn at the same time. It's not as hard as it sounds, give it a try. BTW, it's a good idea to place a shop rag between the piston and the pliers so you don't score up the notches.
