Stuck rear rotors on a 2001 grand prix

I cant get the rotors to budge on my grand prix, it seems that the parking break assembly is holding them on or theres a bolt im not seeing. the calipers and bracket holder for the calipers have been removed but the rotor still wont budge. any suggestions?

you should try heating the rotor around the lugs. the parking break utilizes the caliper. usually the caliper piston twists out, clamping the pads against the rotor. so it isn't the parking break holding the rotors on If you plan on doing your own repairs I would suggest buying a chilton repair manual or something similar they cost around $15 and give you step by step instructions to do most any repair. you can get them from most auto parts stores.

sometimes thts wat you gotta do, also a good way to get rid of stress, esp if you built up all of your stress from trying to fix the thing your hitting, just be careful you dont damage the car while doing so.
