Howdy.

Just a quick question about resetting the brake piston on the rears. I have a 1996 ST202 3SGE.

Do our pistons rotate as they retract, or do they just move straight back? Also, if they do rotate, which direction?

Just need to figure out my best course of action if the piston happens to be seized.

Cheers!

They simply push back in, no rotation necessary. Sounds like you may have a seized caliper if it isn’t pushing back in.
