Rear brake calipers 850

The rear brakes on my sons 850 do not appear to be working on either side. I opened the bleeder and had someone press the brake, and fluid is coming to both calipers. This leads me to beleive that the clipers are frozen, seems odd that both are, but I guess it can happen. What is the best way to free these up, and should I get a rebuild kit for them.

    My left rear caliper froze. I replaced it with a rebuilt caliper from FCP Groton. It cost about $80 + 50 deposit which they refunded when I sent them the old caliper. The caliper comes with new brake pads. I was very pleased with FCP Groton.
    Good luck,
    Jerry
