Okay, I'm replacing the rear rotors on the grand caravan today. I never did rear rotors before - always rear drums. But, intuitively, I suspect removing the discs might involve backing out the emergency brakes, however they work, in case there's a slight groove where they've worn in. So, before I start my job, I figured I'd glance at youtube for a moment.
I watched the first video, and thought, "cute - the guy had his kids do the majority of the work & he recorded them. Awesome that he's teaching his kids some mechanical skills. But darn it - they did the front; I know how to do the front. It's the rear rotor that I'm not 100% certain on how how to remove & don't want to damage the emergency brake in the process."
Then, I got 16 seconds into the 2nd video.

And the 2nd video: (watch until you know why Big Ceas and Big Mike recorded the video.)

(And, actually, the 2nd video doesn't run into the problem I fear, but suggests the solution: shimmying and hammering.")
