take your emergency brake off!!!j/k
It's often a pain to get those rear rotors off. I finally forced it with screwdrivers/prybars. Some people say not to do that because it's hung up on the ebrake. Apparently you can damage some of the ebrake parts if you pry too hard.
The ebrake is just like a drum brake - there's an adjustment gizmo in there that you can spin to pull the shoes back. Look at the other side that's off to see what I'm talking about.
otherwise the general rule is to use a BFH.

I sprayed a little WD40 on the hub and stud area also.
