Default Need Help Taking Rotors Off

I need to put on some wheel spacers.

How hard is it to take off the front brakes?

How hard is it to take off the rear emergency break assembly?

I don't see why you need to take your brakes apart/ parking brake in order to put wheel spacers on.

Yes I am a newbie when it comes to wheel spacers.

I have extended studs and need to hammer out the old ones, thus taking the current rotor off, which involves taking off the breaks

I don know anyone who is running spacers at Monday night meet

And Im in Ontario

There's also this for the fronts: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...caliper-5.html . It's a walkthrough on the pads though, not the rotors.
