Rear rotors seem to be rusted on, got one loose but seems to be hanging up on the lip of the internal emergency brake. Emergency brake is released. Any idea how to get it over the emergency brake? Don't want to do any more damage than necessary.
thanks

REAR BRAKE ROTOR
Removal & Installation (Expedition & Navigator)
Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel. Remove anchor and caliper assembly, and position aside. See DISC BRAKE CALIPERS & PADS. Remove press-on keeper nuts from hub studs (if equipped). Remove rotor.
To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts

PARKING BRAKE
Parking Brake Shoe Adjustment (Expedition, Excursion, Explorer, Explorer Sport, Explorer Sport-Trac, Mountaineer & Super Duty Pickup)
NOTE:On all models except Excursion, Escape, Explorer, Explorer Sport, Explorer Sport-Trac, Mountaineer and Super Duty Pickup, parking brake system is self-adjusting and does not require adjustment.

Using Brake Adjustment Gauge (D81L-1103-A), measure inside diameter of drum portion of rear disc brake rotor. On Excursion and Super Duty Pickup, using parking brake adjuster screw, adjust parking brake shoe and lining until they drag against parking brake drum. On all other models, adjust parking brake shoe and lining to.020" (.508 mm) less than drum measurement.
