HELP Rear rotors wont come off

[q4galant]

I have the caliper off i just dont understand how to get the rear rotor off to replace with my new ones. I figured they would just slide off but i was apparently wrong because they don't. any help would be appreciated

You have to get a long screw and kinda work it off that way....they just won't pull off.

yep, Ed's right. It goes right in that hole in the drum looking part of the rotor. It's your parking brake pads that are holding it on, so also make sure your parking brake isn't on. If you don't have a long screw that fits, you can lightly tap the rotor with a hammer while turning it, that should help loosen it up. I found out about this the same way you did, and a hammer worked wonders.
