Default 1994 rear brake problems

I am new to fords and am a little stumped. The problem is the rear calipers. They are frozen and i'd like to fix or replace them. I can't seem to get the bolts loose. Can anybody tell me if there is a special tool for taking them off. Short of breaking something I just can't seem to remove them. If anybody can give me tips or tricks it would be greatly appreciated.

thank you

could be if there locked up real tight putting more pressure on the bolts you could try cracking the bleeder open to relieve some pressure then try removing the bolts.

Rear breaks are a little more difficult than front breaks because they don't get changed as offten.
The bolts just loosen just like the front breaks. By the way. Righty tighty, lefty loosey

You might need to know that you need a special tool to puch the caliper piston back in. It needs to turn while you are pushing. Autozone will let you use the tool just need a credit card. They bill you for the tool and then when you bring it back they do a full refund. I just bought the tool set cause I am always working on something.
