Rear Rotor Change.... Im doing it as we speak, the brake rotor replacement and new pads.
Right now I have everything off but the rotor. It seems like the rotor its either super glued to the axle or its bolted because I cant get it out. I thought I only had to remove the bracket holding the caliper and it would come off ....
What am I missing here ???

As for the parking brake being released, You guys are talking about just taking off the cable off the lever right ???
Is there any online guides for a rear brake swap ????

Every time I change mine, I have to use a 3 lb mini sledge hammer on them. I've actually hit rotors hard enough to break them before they came loose. When I put the new ones on, I put a little anti sieze under the disc (on the axle flange) and around the hub and that seems to have kept them from sticking to the hubs.
Just get some safety glasses and large hammer (a standard 16 ounce hammer didn't even budge them), a 3 to 5 lb hammer should do it. Don't be afraid to bash them pretty good. Many of them need it.

IM DONE!!!! 
I had a few of these too --> .... Stella Artois....
But yeah, Im done, And now I have absolutely no vibrations when braking at high speed or should I say normal freeway speeds (70-85mph).
I was experienceing vibrations after I replaced the fronts with Brembos drilled and I was thinking I had a bad caliper or something or I needed a bleed. But it turns out it was the rear brakes making the vibrations.
So if any of you guys have Vibrations at braking, And you replaced fronts, and cant figure it out, get some rear rotors please
