help w/caliper pistons

on my 93 fd, the bottem left pison on the front left caliper wont compress... all the other pistons compressed just fine... my c-clamp wont work and im quite irritated, anybody know how i can compress it? also it looks a little bit crooked, one of my friends hit the brakes when there was no pad in place so and the piston is pretty close the the rotor. i need to get it compressed so i can change the pads

If it's crooked and you tried to push it in, chances are you damaged the piston. Pull the caliper off and see if you can get the piston into position.
