Well i went to go change my rear brake pads and when i got the old one off i pressed the pedal for some odd reason. Well that thing that pushes the braked pad is up to far and i cant get it down enough, so how do i get it down.

Use a c-clamp or a big set of channel-locks to compress the piston back in. If you don't care to bleed the brakes, you can remove your brake line from the caliper and that'll make it easier (don't forget to bleed afterwards though). Good luck

i tried the c clamp idea but it started to get hard to turn so i stoped so i would not break anything. I cant bleed my braked cause i dont have a that pump thing to get the fluid in.

You don't need a pump to bleed the brakes.

Taking the cap off the reservoir is a better option than removing the line, no need to bleed. Make sure the piston is going back in straight.
