I am trying to remove my rear brake rotors and for the life of me I cannot get them off? I have remove hte cable for the ebrake, put PB penatrant on the bolts and hb and beat the daylights out of them and they will still not come off. Any tips on getting them off? I have been working on this for two days trying to get them off and getting nowhere.[img:f563c93b22]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/355187_DSC_02141_2.jpg[/img:f563c93b22]

Sometimes the parking brake shoes hold it on, you need to back off the starwheel adjuster to loosen the shoes. If it stuck on the hub, heat works best, heat with a torch. Or get a way heavier hammer!

I don't see any adjuster and I thought you could only adjust the ebrake with the rotor off. I took the rubber boot off that covers the lever and cannot see any adjuster.

Thanks for the reply

Followup: I got it finally with the bigger hammer method. Whomever the engineer wan that thought that up didn't build it for ease of maintenance, but do engineers ever make it easy?

Thanks guys
