put a round rod thru the brake rod's end

'hook' the round rod on the side of a vice with the brake rod's end in the vice

put an open wrench over the small dia of the rod and up against the piston and hit the wrench with a hammer to pop the brake rod out of the plastic bushing inside the piston end.
