Default PLEASE HELP, CANNOT GET REAR CALIPER OFF!!
HI I am in the middle of replacing my rear brake pads. I was able to get the bolts off. But now I am unable to get the caliper off the rotor. It seems stuck. Please help!! I have been trying to pull it off for the last hour.

Did it you park the car while it was raining? The pads might be lightly rusted to the rotor
