G-Clamp if you can fit it in the gap.
Or a spanner.

after reading this it looks like you have to twist and put pressure on the piston,
what would be the best tool to twist it with

u need a tool like we have at work, it clamps to the inside of the calliper and u twist the knob on the end, it forces the piston back eventually.
