New brakes...........rear problem though.
was putting new brakes last night. Got the front changed,new rotors and PBR ceramics, went to the back took off the old pads and rotors, put the new rotors on and could not get the rear pistons to depress for the new pads. Seized maybe? Tried the other side, same thing. Thanks for any help in advance.

The piston is on a threaded rod for the Ebrake.

Rent the tool from AutoZone (for free) or pick one up for cheap from somewhere like Harbor Freight
