my 93 honda accord failed emissions?

The last two answerers are CORRECT! You DO NOT compress them back in! If you do, you'll be buying new calipers (which are not cheap). You use a special tool to turn the pistons clockwise, while compressing them at the same time. It would be advisable to spray some penetrating fluid on the rubber caliper piston boots so that they don't stick to the caliper pistons and tear while you're dong this.

If there is air in my brake lines, will that cause me to lose brake fluid?

Use a block of wood across the piston, and use a "C"-clamp to compress it until it is flush to the edge of the caliper. It may be tough, because you are forcing the fluid back up the line and into the master cylinder.

Don't know anything about the ford brakes but the rear brakes on a honda "screw" back in. Probably something to do with the parking brake.
