Is there a easy or to break them free, I feel like I am going to brake something? I have the caliper off and I am staring at the rotor. I thought they just come off. What am I missing : P

Its the rears and I think its something to do with the e-brake but I can't adjust the e-brake.

Have you tried putting a 10mm bolt into the rotor's hub to press it out? There is a threaded hole specifically for that reason.

probably rusted on....get a hammer and whack it a few times on the hub in different spots to set it free.

yeah I have a puller kit. It gets the rears out only so far then stops like the e-brake is holding on to it. I read the lexus DIY manual and it says there is an adjuster pin and I am staring at it but I don't know what to do with it.

same thing happened to me on all 4 of my rotors, what i did was just take a 10lb sledge hammer and swung away at them. its not like ur gonna be using those rotors again so no worries in warping/cracking them

Locate the rubber grommet on the rotor hub and remove it. Stick a flat head screw driver in it and turn downward(if I remember correctly) to loosen tension from the parking brake shoe. Then try to tap it lightly by the rotor hub and see if that gets it off. If not, insert a 10mm nut into the threaded holes of the rotor hub and tighten to pop the rotor off.

i have made this problem which is why i am posting this, but is the emergency break engaged? you will never be able to pull the rotor off if this is the case

This was it! Thanks.

Its at 6 o'clock. Just lined up the rubber gromet with 6 oclock pulled it off and saw the little gear at the very bottom from through the hole. Pushed in a screw driver and heard a click. So I just moved the well down down down and it loosened great! and when I went to put it back on I made sure to tighten it up but not enough to catch the rotor at all.

Thanks for the help!!!
