As mentioned, with yer hands/fingrs! Wiggle wiggle wiggle til pad can slide back a bit, then work the pad against the rotor to lever the pistons back into their bores. Do this one pad at a time, leaving the other pad in place or you might squish those pistons out further.

Yes it will, I used exactly the same method on my 987.2 Cayman Brembos.

And I have small/weak hands w/ scrawny fingers!
