The brake caliper is attached to a rubber brake hose by a 10 mm socket. try removing the calipers bleeder valve before compressing the caliper, that will relieve the fluid pressure and you can check the piston's movement better. bleed the system after replacement and pump the brake pedal before starting the car. Here are videos to help you make your own line or replace the brake flex hose.

The process is the same in most cases.

By the way, the pistons aren't compressed by just pushing in. It goes in by rotating it clockwise just like a screw. Hope that wasn't the problem.
