Hey probably good idea to start a new thread explaining what you have done. I'll ask admin.
Need more details. Doesn't retract when? If you have refitted the caliper, bled the lines, and its getting stuck then sounds like the master cylinder. With the rotor off, you should be able to push the piston slowly back in with a G clamp with little force. G clamp with a thread, the quick clamps you squeeze are usually not strong enough. Use an old pad to push against, not your nice new one!
