They screw in. I've never done it, but do a search and you should find all you need to know.

Mine seized up and I had to get a new one. Just take off your Master Cylinder lid and you should be able to push it back in.

You CAN"T just push those pistons back in, they screw in. You can rent a tool for that at Auto Zone or the like but it will help you out a lot with getting the pistons back in, you can't just pop the master lid off and get them to go in that way.

All I ever use to turn them back in is a pair of needle nose pliers. You can buy a tool for about $10 to do it but I never ever realy needed it.

By trying to squeeze them in without turning, you may have damaged them.
