Help!

How do you get the rear rotors off a 128? I have the caliper, carrier, and set screw removed, but the rotor won't come off. It's not seized to the hub...it feels like it's being held on by the e-brake (the e-brake is all the way off).

That is possible. You can loosen off the brakes by turning the adjuster through one of the wheel bolt holes. Picture shows LH brake. Turning the adjuster down on the LH side and up on the RH side shortens the adjuster and loosens the brake shoes. This should help.

The adjuster is at about 15 degrees aft of vertical. With a small flashlight you should be able to look inside and see it.
