its probably not your fault. alot of things can do it, like lack of oil, floorboarding it, bad bearings, alot of miles on the engine. i guess they didnt have anyone else to blame, so they blamed you.

You need to crack the bleed nut. Be careful use a good fitting socket and never tighten it on hard or it will break the next time you try to remove it. The piston can be pushed back tapping it with a hammer. As you do this you'll see it bleed out of the bleed nut. Once it's all the way down you should be able to put the pad on. If they are still too thick rub them on a flat sidewalk like using a grinding stone. I've also made my own clamp using a large nut and bolt. Wedge it against the piston and as you unscrew it pushes the piston in. Uses washers for spacers

Cly will lean bad injector out burning the piston then it breaks up. Crack can form and piston can come apart. But the most common is low quality gasoline and pre detonation or spark knock ping that blows a hole along the side of the piston rings snap piston skirt falls into the crank piston top breaks away.

John paul is on the case here. Let me just add that this is usually the result of either massive detonation (knocking) or serous heat - if you have just one split piston make sure to inpect closely, you may have a lot of related damage to valves and head. It would be pretty boring to replace this piston only to develop new problems shortly later...

What I'm wondering is how you "discovered" it, since you can't see the piston without removing a cylinder head, or using a $400 optic fiber inspection tool. And if you own one of the said inspection tools, you wouldn't be asking a question like this.

Lack of lubrication, over revving the engine.
Tons of mileage on it, running it with bad bearings.
