Compressing Seat Track/frame Piston?

00 Ranger Supercab 60/40

I am working on the 60/ side, and I will admit it, I was not thinking and fubared. I pulled the torx screw that holds the piston from the track to the back frame. It has completely expanded. Any ideas on how to compress it so I can re-attach it.

Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

EDIT:

I found a video on how to replace the bolt on it, but it looks like it did not expand on him

Well I figured it out, you have to have the seat back positioned fully forward, like when you are accessing stuff in the back, then the rod will be fully extended and you can finagle enough to bolt it back in.
