What part are you having problems with? Its pretty straight forward. As soon as you get the brake caliper off the rotor should just slide off.

i have tha caliper off and the pads off and the caliper mount off. i took the three washer things off the wheel studs...i just dont see what do do next. on the front after all those steps the rotor comes right off.

The E brake isn't set, right? Sorry, had to ask. Try hitting it with a rubber mallet from the inside.

yes...it should slide off just like the front. Try tapping it with a rubber mallet on the inside and around the edges. You can also try spraying some wd40 around the rusted areas and see if it helps any. Just remember to clean everything with brake fluid though.

First make sure the parking brake is off, yeah i felt real smart when i realized that was still on. Second bang the heck out of it with a rubber mallet, or better yet if your replacing them go nuts with a really big heavy metal one. Just tap/hit the rotor and keep rotating it, hit, turn, hit, turn, and so on. It can take quite a while to get off.

I haven't touched the rear brakes on my ta, but sometimes there is a small hole with threads in it on the rotor that you can screw (the correct size) a bolt into that helps you get it off because it helps release it if rusted on. Good Luck!

If the brake isn't set, tap on the back of the rotor with a rubber mallet. It may just be rusted on. Worst case spray wd40 into where the wheel studs come through the rotor. Just make sure to use plenty of brake parts cleaner to get all of the wd40 off so you don't contaminate the new pads.
