They might be seized, and that could have been why the previous owner disconnected them.
There is also a fairly heavy spring on the calipers so that they will return when the ebrake isn't applied.

i don't think they (calipers) are seized pulling the ebrake cable pushed out the piston you need a vise or clamp to push it back in then put your pads in and reinstall. if they were seized they would have been grinding befor you ever messed with it. the ebrake cables probably froze and were disconnected. worse case scenerio 40-50 for used rear calipers.
