They tend to get really stuck, especially if they haven't been changed in a while. A few raps with a hammer on all sides will usually get the job done. Best of luck.

You have rotors on the rear.

You have to remove the tire first. Next, the caliper has to be slipped off the rotor then you can remove the rotor. Here is the steps for the caliper:

Removal & Installation

1. Disconnect the brake line from the caliper and plug it.
   
2. Remove the caliper mounting bolts.
   
3. Lift off the caliper.
   
4. Remove the pads and anti-squeal shims.
   
5. Remove the wear indicators from each pad.
   
6. Installation is the reverse of removal. Grease the caliper slides and bolts with lithium grease or equivalent. Apply disc brake grease to the anti-squeal shims. Torque the caliper bolts to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm); the brake line union bolt to 21 ft. lbs. (29 Nm).
   

1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
   
2. Remove the rear wheel and tire assembly.
   
3. Unbolt and remove the caliper, but do NOT disconnect the fluid line. Suspend the caliper from the suspension with a piece of wire.
   
4. Remove the rotor.
   
5. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.

You need to retract the brake shoes, via the center adjuster mechanism. As your old brake wore, the adjuster moved the shoes outward. Simply move the adjuster to retract the shoes, then slide the drum on. Then, readjust the rear shoes.

The rear brakes should last from 30000 to 60000 miles or 50000 to 100000 kms. So something is wearing out your brakes too fast. Are you doing the work or some shop. I also assume you have discs and not drums since you mention pads and calipers. I am not certain but usually you need a tool to turn the pistion in when putting in new pads. I would make sure the pads are releasing properly by raising rear of car, stepping on brakes a few times (with engine off and try see if wheels are free by spinning by hand, also try to use handbrake a few times and release it and see if wheels spin freely. Maybe rears always applied. Notice burning smell, are discs glazed from heat? Are you using really cheap pads. Also check the proportioning valve which will decrease pressure to rear brakes during hard braking. Do you notice rear wheels squeling during hard braking. Do you have antilock brake system? Also are you using good quality pads and rotors.

Remove two mounting bolts to the brake calipers to remove brake pads.
