I thought that, worst case, I connect the calipers to the hard line, with no rotor or pads, fill fluid and bleed the brakes, and use the pedal to press out the piston. Being careful not to push the pedal too far. Would that work? Sounds like a big pita and waste of fluid.

Take out the pads and use wooden construction shims between the piston and the rotor to limit how far the piston moves. I've done it many times.
