Rear Disc Brake Caliper Piston Retraction

[peppermrj]

I was replacing the rear pads on A 2000 Civc SI. I tried spinning it in clocwise but saw no change. So thinking I was turning it hte wrong way I gave it a few turns counter clockwise. I rechecked and it was out another 1/4 inch. Also I think my son might have inadvertantly but briefly stepped on the brake pedal. Although he will not fess up. I went back to spinning clockwise after checking the manual. It seems as if it went back a slight bit but then stopped. It will not retract any further.

I am considering trying to open the bleeder and trying to spin/push it back in. Is this a waste of time? Should I just replace the caliper?

Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
