Help with rear rotors/emergency brake
Hi, I tried changing my rear rotors today but was having problems with the emergency brake. How do I disengage the emergency brake so the shoes aren't pressing against the drum (besides pressing the pedal). There was a piece of rubber thing I popped off of the rotor, I know this is used to turn something for the emergency brakes. This was as far as I got since I don't know what to do to disengage the emergency brake. Much help appreciated, thanks.

Don't forget to tighten the shoes back up after you put the rotors back on.

Oh, I forgot to metnion:
The starwheel is at the bottom, middle in relation to the rotor, so you need to line the hole up with this, at the 0/360 degree position.
