Removal of rear brake discs on 300e

Hi. My car is in the driveway with the rear up in the air. I thought the rear brake discs would come off when the wheels, calipers, and the little retaining screw were removed. However, they did not, even despite several loosening taps with my rubber mallet.<br> Any advice? Is there an additional screw to remove somewhere that is not visible to the naked eye?<br> (BTW, got OE discs and pads from AutohausAZ.com for a good deal less than my dealer charges, shipped UPS promptly...)<br> Thanks for any help,<br> Alex

Never mind - found a special tool for the job

Turns out these rotors need to coaxed off b/c of years of rust-n-dust with a hammer.<br> <br> Ü<br> <br> <br> Alex

You also have to loosen up the parkingbrake they are inside the disc , you can do this whit a screwdriver trough one of the wheelbolt-holes and turn a small wheel behind it.

Nah, I didn't have to do this.<br> <br> Thanks, though. <br> <br> (Perhaps I should have, but my dealer's service advisor, a close friend of mine, called and told me about the bfh [big f**king hammer] but didn't mention any further screwing / unscrewing.)<br> <br>
