turn it to the piston to the right.

you could also use a long nose plier if you dont have time to buy the square tool but just to warn you, it will be hard but ive done it so many times at the shop so i mean its duable

I use one large needle-nose pliers and a channel-lock wrench for leverage.
Spread the pliers apart, get each half of the jaws seated at the ends of the slot on the piston.
Then, clamp down on the hinge of the pliers with the channel-lock wrench to form a lever arm.
