Hi:
When I do it, I leave the old pad in place over the piston and then use a C-clamp to depress it. Also, I recommend allowing the excess fluid to exit through the bleeder rather than pushing it back into the system. Just make sure to close it before air can enter the system.

Let me know if you have other questions.
