to remove piston

stick a rag in front of the piston, wadded up so it cant fly out and get damaged

stick an air blower in the brake line connection ans slowly blow it out

or jsut pump the pedal with the caliper off, fluid will go everywhere

hook it back into the brake lines and push the brakes. The pressure will pop out the piston :D But as Royce says, fluid will go everywhere!
