retraction of Rear Brake Caliper Pistons S40-V40 2002

How does one go about retracting the pistons on the rear brake calipers of a 2002 S40? I read an earlier series of posts that indicate that the piston must be rotated, but it wasn't explicit - do you rotate the piston to a certain orientation and then compress the piston normally, or does the piston screw in and out? I need help urgently because unfortunately, I pulled the caliper off the rotor and removed the pads already. Any advice is greatly appreciated...
