I can’t for the life of me push any of the rear guide pins. I’ve used wd40, soaked for few hours and the pins don’t budge. The worn pads move freely, the pins are not seized on the metal bracket. I wonder if the guide pins are seized on either caliper surface. Appreciate any pointers/help?
PS: for some reason the rear guide pins seems to stick out more than the fronts.

Yes, the rears guide pins protrude more than the fronts. That's normal but definitely concerning initially.
To remove the front pins, are you using an appropriately sized punch tool and hammer? If the punch tip is too thin you won't be able to direct sufficient force on the pin.
Those calipers look brand new btw. I imagine your tip toeing to keep them chip free. Try sending it.
