Default How Do I Remove the Rear Brake Disks

I need to get to the emergence brakes, I just removed the calibers and tried to remove the disks by pulling hammering etc. with-out success. The rivets have been removed by previous owners. Any secrets Thanks

adjust your parking brake to bring the pads in, if possible

Spray LOTS of penatrating oil at the joint between rotor and hub along with wheel stud holes. Come back in 24 hours and give the rotor a good hard wack with a hammer in between 2 of the wheel studs. (don't hit the studs with the hammer!!)
