Rear rotor replacement on the passenger rear side. I am trying to replace the rotor as I just got done doing the driver rear side. On the passenger rear side I am trying to replace the rotor as I just got done doing the driver rear side. But this will not come off.

Just so I understand the issue because the concern was a little vague. Are you trying to get the rotor off and it will not come off?

If you can't get it off, I suspect that the parking shoes that are on the inside of the rotor are frozen. This means you need to adjust the brake shoe adjuster down and then hit the face of the rotor with a hammer (not where the pads ride). This will loosen the shoes from the inside of the rotor and you should be able to remove it.

Let me know if you are still not able to get it off and we can go try something else. Thanks
