How to remove rr brake rotor 2008 Saturn Outlook? Necessary remove torx retainer same as on front rotor?

Is the rotor loose at all? The rubber plug is removed so you can adjust the parking brake. There is a star bolt in there that you can turn with a straight edge screw driver. You need to turn it to losen the parking brake shoes. Then the rotor should come off as long as you have the caliper removed.

Sir, it has both shoes (for the parking brake) and pads for stopping on the rear wheel. There is a retainer bolt that holds the rotor in place. When you remove it, you will find the parking brake shoes ride in the rear of the rotor. I attached the only picture I could find to show you where they ride in relationship with the rotor. In the picture, the inner drum is being measured. That is where the shoes will be.

I DO NOT KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

OR WHAT HAS TO COME OFF

I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH TORX---JEEP CJs ARE COMPLETELY MADE OUT OF 'EM

I REPLACE 'EM WITH BOLTS---IF AT ALL FEASIBLE, IF YOU CAN GET 'EM OUT AND THEY ARE DAMAGED---REPLACE WITH NEW ONES---IT WON'T HAPPEN THE NEXT TIME!

I AM GONNA MAKE YOU A SPECIAL PIC--JUST FOR YOU--ON HOW TO REMOVE 'EM, IF YOU AIN'T TORE 'EM UP YET!

GIVE ME UP TO 20- 30 MINUTES---I'LL HAVE YOU A GREAT TECHNIQUE, THAT I USE.

BACK IN A JIFFY!
