The DYI was great for pads...why cant the rear rotor come off. Do I have to do somethign with E btake to get pads to pull away?

Hit with rubber mallet ..nothing budged. No bolts to push off rotor like front.

Please help...car has to go back to college

 

If the e-brake is released they are just stuck. Even if there was a groove worn in the drum part they would move around a little. Just give it a good smack with a sledge hammer, rubber mallet is not heavy enough to do anything.

 

I smacked the rotor as hard as I could with an oak hammer handle beteen another hammer and rotor....It didnt budge. No metal on metal with brake pads. I did not want to bend or warp rotor just yet until I had more time. I probably need heat and a little liquid wrench too befor pounding.
