Rear rotor removal

One of my right, rear pads let loose, and tore up my rotor. Anyone know how to remove it, so I can install a new one? Ive searched and cant find anything.

Jack it up and take the tire off. At the rotor where the stud sticks out, you might find 3 or 4 thin locking washers, take a chisel or something to cut them off. Spray some kind of power lube where the rotor is touching the hub. From the back side tap on it with a hammer working your way around the rotor so that your not cocking it. I know with mine it was a PITA because it's a snug fit plus it was rusted, but it will come off. If this doesn't work, pull the axle and hub assy. and go have it pressed off. Also make sure you spray power lube around the studs as well. Hope this helps.

If you're lucky like I was the rotor will just slide off after you remove the caliper and bracket first that is! And just a reminder. don't forget to release the E brake first! A buddy of mine did that and I had to samck him up-side his head before he realized what he did! LMAO!!! Good luck! If you get stuck just come back and ask! I'm sure we've all been there!

I just did mine and the only thing I did different was I went around the lug area with my acetylene torch. Just a little heating made them let loose from the hub.
