Removing rear disk rotor (1 Viewer)

[kenthemover]

Can't get rear disk drum rotor of rear of truck. I've loosened the adjustment sour all the way (pushing down) but still won't come off. I can shake rotor and it wiggled but that's it.
Need to replace couple studs.
Any tricks that might help?
Thanks
Kenny

You're sure the ebrake is off?

You should be able to stick 2 m6 or m8 bolts in the 2 little holes between 2 of the studs, that will press against the flange and push it off. lube them to reduce the chance of stripping.

I made the mistake of trying to use those before I broke it free and 1 of them just stripped, I ended up having to use a hammer to bang the rotor off (which was fine since I was replacing all my rotors and wheelbearings anyways). But since you can already wiggle yours it should be safe to use them to force it off.
