Air is the easiest way, but how much pressure are you using ?? You need to regulate the air down to under 5 lbs..2-3 is all you need to balloon the seal, once you have positioned the piston JUST right on it, anymore pressure than that, and you are fighting it to push the piston in. Also, as soon as the seal balloons around the piston, shut the air off.
Have a film of brake fluid on the o-ring to help the piston slide in.
