What is the secret to getting the rear rotors off of my 95 MPV. Looks like they should just pull off after freeing the caliper, but I'm having no luck. I look around through the little service hole into the parking brake drum area for something to release, but no luck so far. Are they just REALLY happy being there after so long?

Unfortunately, when I bought this van used in 1997, the dealer didn't have any 1995 manuals around, so they gave me 94 book, which is mostly great except the rear disc brakes ddn't come into being until 1995.

Hello .. thanks for the donation ... much appreciated REAR BRAKE ROTOR Removal & Installation Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheel assemblies. Remove rear brake caliper with brake hose connected. See REAR BRAKE CALIPER . Support caliper using wire. Remove rotor-to-hub screws (if equipped). Remove rotor. Machine rotor if lateral runout exceeds specification. Replace rotor if measured thickness is less than specified minimum thickness. See DISC BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS . To install, reverse removal procedure. Check end play at grease cap. If end play exceeds .002" (.05 mm), check lock nut torque or replace wheel bearings. hope this helps
