I’m replacing my dads brakes on his altima and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the rear rotors off. I got the caliper off and out of the way but can’t figure out if there is anything else holding the rotor on.

some people accidently leave the e-brake on, only other thing I do with stuck rotors is heat + sledge hammer

I ended up using a bolt and nut threw one of the holes that holds the caliper to the hub. Used that to put outward pressure on the Rotor and they popped off. I did use heat on the other side with the same bolt and nut technique and it seemed to work even better.

Thanks
