Yep... finger pressure is all thats required to put a piston back in
2 fingers... firm... but not tight

Are you using brake caliper assembly lube or whatever it is called?

I just rebuilt some 4 piston calipers off a 120 series Landcruiser for my Hilux, assembly lube made it easy.

I've rekitted numerous calipers over the years, from HQ PBR, HZ Girlock and VN. I've never been able to push the pistons in with my fingers, always tried but had to use a G clamp... with fresh brake fluid. Pistons always nice and clean.
