2002 Rear Rotor removal

[HatchettMan]

Help, I'm in a bind again. Replacing rear disc pads and noticed my rotor was grooved. So I decided to remove myself to take for turning. Now I can not get the damn thing off. There is a locking axle bolt that I broke off unfortunately. Lug studs are loose but I don't know how to remove rotor. Anybody please give me the secret code to get these things off. Is there a special tool I need? And no one has info in auto parts stores about this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Rear Brake Disc
Removal and Installation

Remove the support bracket. The support bracket is held on by two bolts on the back side of the wheel. They are torqued to 76 ft. lbs.

NOTE: Remove and discard the pushnuts, if so equipped.

NOTE: Mark the brake disc and a wheel stud.

This ensures that the lowest brake disc runout is maintained during installation.

Remove the brake disc.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.

once you have the caliper off - just remove the two snap washers on the studs holding the rotor on - and it just falls off.....

or if it don't 'fall off' you may need to whack it with a hammer some... dont whack it too hard, I seen a dude break a rotor into 2 pieces doing that. didnt matter in that case, because it was getting replaced anway!
