Dude you have to remove the entire unit. That piston will not come out like that and should not. it has two bolts below. Losen evenly and the entire unit will come out as one. You will need a press to compress the "piston" piece back to were it belongs. I sujest a whole new one. It will come with all you need. Read a manual before you look to do this agian.

Fillsrunner4 is right (as usual) 
This tool, or similar... will also work if you can't remove the tensioner:
