I cannot seem to figure out how the rear drum/rotor come soff the vehicle so can get the wheel bearing replaced. The caliper and bracket are off, and the bearing nut, retaner and kotter pin are also off. But I can't seem to get the rotor/drum to move. How do I get this off.
I also cannot seem to find any auto repair manuals for this car. Every car I've have owned I get a manual for and now I can't seem to find this particular model. Would somebaody please ehlp me withthis problem? Thank you

Remove two bolts holding caliper bracket and caliper. Slide out of way then you may have to tap rotor where small arrow is to break it loose from hub. If it doesn't move adjuster for parking brake to loosen it then it should come off. Then remove wheel bearing.
