Problem for Kia 2005 Sorento

I am having trouble with releasing the parking brake adjuster.

I am trying to remove the rear rotors. I cannot see or feel the adjuster to release the pressure holding in the rotor. Can i go somewhere to get a look at what I am trying to find? Or am I missing a new trick to get this rotor off.

There's usually a small hole/slot in the back bottom of the hub assembly where a screwdriver can be inserted to turn the self adjuster. You need to turn it in the right direction to release pressure.

Make certain that you do not have your parking brake applied.

Most situations do not require any movement of the self adjuster. There is probably a corrosion ring along the outer edge of the drum. You may be able to get the drum to slowly come off by tapping the drum with a bubber mallet or large hammer.
