removing rear rotors

So I decided to do my brakes. The front rotors are off and the rears are not budging. Do I need a bigger hammer or it there a mystery screw I cant see?

I have removed the brake housing and while turning the rotor I hit it with a hammer around the hub to break it loose. Is this the propper method for these trucks?

I am guessing the rear rotor bolts on as there a bolts on teh front of it. I will give this a try.

BIGGER HAMMER DID IT!. with a nice block of wood in a spinning motion to protect the rotor.

Well the brakes r done.. Turned all four rotors and threw some hawk pads in there. That freakin bouncing is finally GONE. The slide pin upgrade was done about 2 months back but that didn’t cure it.

Yea I can see when an air hammer would be the tool to break those back rotors loose. Swinging a BFH laying on your side and trying to hold a piece of wood flush on the back of the rotor is a real PITA! I got all kinds of crap in my eyes (I know that’s what safety glasses r for)

beer time!
