First of all open the bleeder, pinch the brake hose, that's will save your master cyl. After that you can easily push very hard. If (and after a hard pushing) you can't retract the caliper consider a rebuilding kit or a rebuild unit. It's always better to change caliper by pair. If you can move it back... just close the bleeder remove the pinch and make it work in and out until it goes free..

Good luck

notice, don't get mad with my grammar i'm a french speaking native...
