Rear Rotors Won't Come Off..

So I thought the rear rotors would come off as easy as the Front rotors on a z32... I was hella wrong.. Can someone give me a sure fire way of getting these Danged rotors off?!?

Thanks in Advanced..


Edited*

BUMP.. People say Google saves lives.. Lol I'm such a Dweeb.. for all those who are reading this and have the same question.... this is how its done..

1. release your e-brake
2. find a bolt to fit in the little threaded hole near the hub on the face of the rotor
3. slowly screw it in and you will see the rotor move a little, if you have two holes on opposite sides switch between sides, screwing until the rotor moves toward you little by little, eventually it will pop and there goes the weasel.

Your basically using the bolt to press the rotor off, against the hub.

Special thanks to NolimitZ32 over at NicoClub..
as I said Google Saves Lives!!

If I'm not mistaken, the parking brake pad will hang up on the inner surface of the drum portion of the rotor. Release the brake and back off the tension if you need to. Penetrating oil on the hub would probably help.
