Pop the old brake pad in place against both pistons, then use the channel locks. If its to tough, find any hard object you can position between 1 piston and the outer edge of the caliper. This will hold that piston from moving out any farther, and allow you to compress the other piston in all the way. Slow and steady, and you should be able to get the second one in without pushing that first one to far out.
