front brakes should be the same. if you take off the caliper you can try and soak it.... see if the piston unlocks... worth a shot lol

might sound dumb but I really don't know. Are you using a clamp to try to break the piston loose, or the special caliper tool? Because I thought mine was stuck untill I used the dumb tool i knew I had to use but thought I could get away without it. Well just a shot.
