How to fix brakes on Nissan Micra?

I cant get the piston on the brakes to return so as to allow new pads to be fitted. How do i make it move?

More than hand pressure, Al - there is a special tool for this but any sort of levering should see the piston back. If it doesn't, the brakes will stick on anyway.

It is the front discs, piston will not move back. How much pressure will it need?

Al, July 2009
I guess you are talking about the rear discs (rare, those) - as the front pistons simply push back? They need to be turned as they are pressed in.
