Is there a trick to getting off the rear brake rotor? It seems loose but I can't get it off. Is there something holding it on?

Hello,
To get the rotor out you will have to remove the caliper bracket out of the way. Otherwise, the rotors will come lose on the hub, but you won't be able to remove them.
If the rotor is seized on the hub, use a mallet to hit the rotor, as that will get it to loosen up from the hub.

I have attached the brake pad and rotor replacement procedure below.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
