My rear bake calipers have froze up and have the pads on the discs. how can I relive the presure on them?

unhook the brake lines, unbolt them, pry them off, grease them, and spin them back in with a brake tool? dont forget to bleed the air out when your done.

-edit- also make sure they are actually frozen and its not just the park brake...

do your sliding pins move freely. lubricate them anyways. cant remember if that would be enough to freeze up brakes. if caliper frozen , you need new caliper. or release parking brake.
