Hey guys, so I decided to change the brakes and rotors on my 01 s500. Front break pads and rotors came off easy. However, the rear the rotor just wont come off. I took off the little screen on the rotor and the calibers and the break pads but the rotor just wont come off. Is there a trick to it? I dont see anything else holding the rotor on, any advice?? thanks

Release the hand brake and if that does not do it, a bigger hammer is the solution.

The ebrake is up, I figured since the break pads were off it did not have anything to do with that. I was banging and banging with the hammer and nothing. I will try what you said and post the results. Thx

you need the parking brake off.

use a sledge if nothing else works.

I had to use a 2# sledge to get my fronts off.

When my kid saw me pounding away, he joined in with the smaller hammer on my right front fender

Sometimes the "Get a bigger hammer" technique is the correct one my friend.
