Front disc bolts are a lot more forgiving because they are semi floating discs, as in they're in 2 parts.
The heat from the outer part of the disc takes the main heat of braking.
The rear disc takes all the heat as it's one piece and transfers the heat to the bolts which then fuse to the wheel.
In short those bolts can be a complete bastard to remove in comparison.
If you haven't attempted the rear before, prepare yourself for a world of pain.
I ended up having to buy a 2nd hand wheel after all attempts at removing the bolts failed miserably :'(
