The only thing that makes them "harder" is the e-brake. You may have to hammer on the rear rotors to break them loose from the hub. Rust buildup tends to make them stick on - use some WD-40 or PB Blaster to loosen them beforehand.

Another thing that makes the rear breaks slightly harder is the suspension arm that sits right in front of the lower caliper mount bolt. Needed a 3" extension cuz there's no space to fit a ratchet head. Other than that, and the aforementioned need for a rubber mallet, it's dam near the same.

What about the ebrake makes it harder? I'm in the middle of trying to get one of the rear rotors off. I took the screws out of through the little hole. Hopefully that was a good thing. I cant get the rotor off though. Ive been pounding it with a hammer and 2x4. Recommendations?


I have one of the rear rotors broken free now, but it wont come out. Hmmm....
