Yeah, that can work as long as you're careful not to damage the piston or send it back in at an angle and jam it. Also, it won't work on cars where the piston actually needs to be twisted as it goes back in. I don't think ours do though.

No twisting of piston required! mine were forced in with various sized hole punches and a hammer
