Default Rear Brake Piston Stuck?

HEy guys. Followed Schwings write up on rear brakes. Took the pads out, saw even wear and came to conclusion pistons wern't stuck. take them out, twist the piston with big pliers. take the c-clamp to compress and won't budge. Fronts moved real easy. Parking brake is off, cable is off, can't figure out why? Any suggestions? Thanks
