k three things to do, look at the wheel studs you put the lug nuts onto ... sometimes there is an anti rattle tab on one or two em just tear em off with a set of side cutters, if those aren't there make sure that there isn't those gay ass hell e brake shoes are not seized loosen emm off like your adjusting rear brakes. If that doesn't work and you are replacing the rotors anyways just smash them off with a hammer. Try not to hit your backing plate. Good Luck. :thumbup:

Eh as of now, I just replaced the pads since I was using my buddies garage, and yes did everything messed with the lil adjuster e brake off, tho' the car was in gear, was too afraid of taking it off since only had like plastic chocks and too afraid of destroying the hub while tryin to destroy the rear disc, there was one of those damn middle stubs in the center but not retaining clip.
Heh.
