Do you have the brake windback tool? If not, it can be a challenge. You can use circlip pliers but they can jam a bit which is where the windback tool helps.

I used an angle grinder key to rotate the piston and a cramp to push it back with (simultaneously)

Worked OK. here

you need to wind the piston in, turn them clockwise as you apply pressure. You can buy/ use a windback tool to do it but as others have suggested you can use pliers

 

ps it's a bit easier if you remove the cap from the Master Cylinder, make sure it doesn't overflow

And as no one else has mentioned it Halfords can supply the tool.
