Brakes - Rear Rotor Removal Assistance?
 
Hey guys,

I'm in the process of upgrading my rear brakes & rotor with ceramic pad and slotted/drilled rotor. I removed the caliper and bracket but I can't removed the OEM rotor :shakes head: I hit it pretty hard with the hammer and tried to close the drum pads/ebrake, but no luck. Any help would be great!

Make sure that your parking brake is disengaged and your car in gear. Spray some liquid wrench on the wheel studs and bang away with a rubber hammer.

Good luck!

If your parking brakes are adjusted too tight, remove the little rubber plug from the rotor and poke a flat blade screwdriver into the hole to rotate the little star wheel to back the parking brakes off a bit.
If both wheels are in the air on jackstands, rotate the entire rotor assembly with your hands to ensure your parking brake is disengaged and your cars in neutral.
