2014 Ford Escape Rear Brake Pad replacement - the pad expander of each rear wheel doesn't retract as it should - tried a clockwise motion that didn't retract the expander. Any suggestions ?

The Parking Brake setting ! Excellent point and likely to be the situation I found myself in. I turned and I turned yet did not push in as you suggest here to catch the spiral rod, Thank you the advice and I will report back one day with results. Have a pending snow storm to deal with just now ! Best regards, Tennisshoes !
..just beware one of the calipers retracts clockwise the other counterclockwise, there is a special tool not too expensive..

Karmon, Really - could I have been turning the disc the wrong way ? Are you positive about this since a manual said counterclockwise and didn't separate left from right ( I only tried the right rear and gave up ! )
Rotate counterclockwise to get it going, then clockwise to wind back into calipers
