Help! Can't Remove my REAR rotors!!!
I'm removing the rear rotor right now. I took off the two torque bolts and the two caliper bolts, but my rotor won't come off. I also don't have my parking brakes on. Do I need to remove any other bolts, or do anything else?

If it's anything like the 300zx. You need two 10mm bolts, screw them in, tighten them down and poof - she's off.

First, use liberal amount of wd or equivalent, leave alone for a short while, then rubber mallet if you would need to reuse the rotor later

I've done about 6 brake jobs on a few different z's and g's. WD40 and a rubber mallet. Tap, tap, tap and off they come.

Stand with your back facing the rotor. Donkey kick.

WD did nothing for me. I used it 2 times and let it sit for 10 minutes each time. I then got some other stuff PB Blaster I think it is called and they came off 10 minutes later no problem. Rubber mallet too of course.
