How do you remove rear tires off a 96 jeep grand Cherokee?

Answer 1

Make sure the e-brake is fully disengaged. Then even still since the e-brake shoes use the inside of the rear rotor for braking there can be some build up of rust. You need work to rotor off. It takes some time and patience but it works. It might also depend on how much material you have left on your e-brake shoes. When I changed mine I had no material left on the shoes and it was still somewhat difficult to remove the rotor. Hopefully this helps.

Answer 2

The removal process is made very easy by purchasing an inexpensive door panel removal tool. Use this tool to remove the plastic snap rivets from the bottom and top of the bumper cover and inside wheel well coverings as needed. A 10mm deep socket is used to remove two nuts on the inside of each rear fender. Use a torx head driver to remove the fasteners just inside the left and right side of the tailgate. Once these fasteners are removed, carefully pull the rear corner panels away from the body. They are held in place by two plastic horizontal V clips so a popping noise is normal. The bumper cover is now free to be pulled off

Remove caliper via two bolts on rear inside of caliper. Slide caliper away from rotor and support to ensure you don't damage the hyd. Hose. Remove to caliper mount by removing two each 13/16 bolts that secure mount to spindle. There is an o-ring around the hub that seals the rotor to the hub. Remove this o-ring. Take a small block of wood and place on back of rotor and hit a few times. Rotor should come right off.
