Default 2013 GS350 F Sport RWD Rotor stuck?

Am i missing something? It feels loose but also feels stuck somewhere? I see no screws holding it on but something behind it feels stuck?

Is the parking brake fully retracted? Something from that assembly must be snagging on the drum part of the rotor.

something was - when i finally got the rotor off there was a spring and 2 things that sort of looked like a nail but idk what it was. We never use the parking brake so idk why it be have been retracted

since u took off the rotor without releasing the parking brake and used force to take it out i assume the parking brake might be messed up.

Note that the rear brake rotor has a built-in drum style parking brake.
It is very uncommon for the rear rotor to require removal, because most braking force and wear is on the front rotors.
