Default Tips on rear rotor removal

I just did the rear rotors and pads on my 2007 1500. On the drivers side, looking over the top of the rotor, remove the oval shaped black rubber plug, insert a medium flat screwdriver, angle the screwdriver up towards the top of the rotor. In other words, handle down and lift up. This will loosen the parking brake pads. The passenger side is the opposite.
If this does not make sense, turn the parking brake adjustment about 6 spins and then try removing the rotor. If it is even tighter, no play at all, spin it back the other way 12 times and it should now come off. Not a hard job just a little annoying.
