I know it sounds lame but the rear rotors wont budge....

The fronts came off with ease(just slid off)but the rears seem like somthings still holding them on.....I already removed the 2 bolts but is there somthing else?????

You removed the caliper, correct?

If so, then use a rubber mallet and give them a good smack - they'll come off... DO NOT use a regular hammer.

There is a threaded hole in the rotor, use a jack-screw to pop it out.

aside from the 4 disc brakes system, we have non-servo type drum brakes on the rear for your e-brake function, you wont see it cuz its inside the inner hub of the rear axles brake rotors using the inside of it as the drum. (prevents warpage of the rotor i guess) you might have left the e-brake up and when trying to get the rotors off, the brake shoes are engaged to the drum portion.

Sounds like they are rusted on. Try some WD-40 or any rust remover and spray it on the groove where the hub and the rotor meet. Hit the rotor with a mallet outward, you'll have to hit it pretty hard until it budges. Don't give up, it will come out eventually.

Dont use a regular hammer. Use a dead blow hammer if you have or can get a hold of one. Mallets are great but get a hard one and be carefull not to chunk it. Tap it from opposite sides equally, should pop right off.

A little late here but I got them off by using a bolt to pop them off....screw it in alittle on one side then do the other side alittle so it comes off evenly....Once you loosen it up it will just slid off like the fronts.....Theyre just stuck on there really good....

I Used a radiator support bolt with the #4 on it(1 of the 2 on the top of the radiator)...It fit perfect(didnt know where else to find a bolt that would fit)But you can use any bolt that will fit.....Thx for the help guys.....
