Unhappy spectra calipers HELP

i was just wondering if anyone else has had any problems with the calipers on the spectra...
I have a 2005 sepctra and i just took my car into Just Breaks they told me i needed to have the back left caliper rebuilt...i just think it is odd for a car this new...i called the Kia dealership and they told me it is normal for one break to be worn more than others...i have never hear that before, and i have been working on cars with my Dad since i was 5...when i was talking to the guy at Kia he told me to bring my car in so they can change out the break pads for me and charge me $200...well i figured i would just get the break pads and do it myself if that is what they wanted to do...well i got the back left caliper off and guess what...i cant get the caliper to decompress, i used a c clamp and got my husband out there with his "hurcules" muscles to try to compress the caliper back to get the new pads on, well we couldnt get it, we could only get it down enough to put the old pads on...the guy at Kia told me the caliper wouldnt be covered under the 10 year 100 thousand warranty...is this right???? should i just get a new caliper and do it myself, or take it to Kia?????
