My Corvette(s):
97 coupe
Default rotor install

I assume the piston on the caliper has to be pressed in to intall the rotor. What is the best way to do this?

Nope, but someday.

Hi there,
I usually will first open the 10mm bleeder screw, and place a pan underneath.
Then, using a 9" C clamp, to compress the pad against the rotor. This will expel the fluid out of the bleeder screw.
Once completely compressed, close the bleeder screw, and then remove the compression of the c clamp.
If you have further question, please let us know, c4c5
