Default Rrear rotor removal

Can anybody tell me how to remove the rear rotors? I thought it would just be putting the 2 bolts to push it away from the setup but I guess its more. The fronts come right off but what about the rears? I need to knwo so I can put my drilled and slotted ones on and finish the suspension / break setup.

pretty much the same as changing the brake pads. Remove both 17mm bolts and slide the caliper off of the rotor. maybe they're just stuck on there and needs just a little bit more force?

i had that problem.. you have to release the parking brake.. and sometimes a rubber mallet would be helpful..

HAHA I took the parking brake off and heard "kink" Kink".

Thats what it sounds like when a rotor drops a foot down.
