One thing you might try next time you do brakes - pads and/or rotors - is to attach clear tubing (and feed lose end into plastic bottle, etc.) to the caliper bleed port and crack that bleed valve open a bit right before you push the caliper piston. That way there is no fluid pressure being pushed back thru the system into the main reservoir. The result is twofold: (1) no change in fluid level in reservoir and (2) it lessens the force required to push the piston.
Good luck/Bill
