What's the best way to push pistons back in before fitting new pads?

TRP HYRD calliper with Shimano pads, I've done this several times before with a combination of a tyre lever and flat head but this time around just can't seem to reset the pistons sufficiently. Absolutely no gap for the between the pads is best I can do so far.

Thanks!

Lube the pistons as mentioned, stick one old pad in, find a thin knife/long screwdriver bit and insert all the way through the caliper so you can push against the pad from both ends to give it some welly.

Flip the old pad and repeat for the other side.

Will get hold of some mineral oil and try again.

I can push one in no problem, causing the other one to come out further. Then have no way of keeping the first in place whilst fighting the other one back in.
