hi, im replacing all 4 rotors and brake pads and i was wondering if the rears are the same as the fronts to take off? i looked and some pictures online and there looks like theres a screw of some sort in the middle. can someone please help me? i got the fronts off fine by removing the caliper set up and just knocking the rotor out. but didn't get a chance to do the rears. thanks.

thanks for the link. but when i took off the rear caliper house on the rears the rotor came off easily just like the fronts. not sure if i'm missing anything, but i got it done! thanks.

 

No you are not missing anything. Your drum portion does not have a lip. It is a pain to keep turning the star nut to drop the shoes enough to clear the lip ... no fun!.
