For future reference, once the motor has been wound back (either using VCDS or using a T40 torx bit on the back of the caliper with the motor removed), the piston can just be pushed back without turning. The replacement caliper arrived today and I used a 150mm G-clamp to push the piston back. I'll be fitting the new caliper to the car in the morning.
