1995 Camry Rear Rotor Removal - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I am replacing the pads and rotors on my baby mommas 95 Camry LE. I got the calipers off and hung them from the top of the wheel well. I tried taking the rotor off but it is stuck big time. There are 2 8mm screw holes on the front of the rotor and tried cranking some in but it won't budge. Any suggestions on how this thing comes off? I am afraid of ruining something. I believe whatever is behind the rotor is coming with it when I crank down on the 8mm screw.

So earlier I was pulling on the rotor and a spring from the inside fell out. I immediately went and pulled the parking brake and the rotors fell out. I found that these back brakes are disc but use a drum type of brake on the inside of the rotors for the parking brake. 3 hour mistake

what wennis1 said, check to make sure the parking brake shoe on the inside is backed out. sometimes they wear a groove in the drum part making it hang up. if the rotor still feels solid on the hub, really wrench on those two 8mm bolts.
