Glad you got it fixed!

Didn't know I had any "neighbors" here on FTE.

Howdy from High Springs!

Wish I cold have seen this thread a few months ago.

Rear rotors can be a pain. Tricky to get off if they are stuck.

Trick is to put 2each 1/2 or so full threaded bolts thru the mounting holes for caliper. Put a nut on bolt, on inside side of caliper mounting bolt hole. Put a scrap piece of steel between end of bolt and rotor. Screw nut to put end of nut in contact with scrap metal that rests on inside face of rotor. Wrench on nut to exert pressure on back side of rotor. Tap on rotor then loosen, rotate rotor and repeat until rotor pops loose.

Basically using caliper mounting bolt holes and a bolt to push the rotor off. Be careful not to push too hard and break caliper mounts.
