Keith pasden is correct although I might say 'beating' with a sledge. Also put it in Neutral SAFELY jacked and chocked so you can spin the rotor while you do it.

2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac wires that I need to bypass to the aftermarket amp.

That usually causes a whole heap of troubles because the amp and radio are connected to the BCM and are part of the computer system. Things like turn signal clickers and door open chimes are actually part of the radio / amp system.

The brakes on my 07 sport trac are spongy at times, but the pads are still good

Sounds like maybe air in the line. Your brakes should be bled soon.

How do i remove the rear rotors?

most likely the parking brakes are falling apart inside the drum if a lot of hits with a big hammer don't break them loose you can cut the heads off the anchor pins on the back side of the backing plate to remove the whole assembly and then most people don't put them back on.good luck!

98 Ford Escort, Emergency brake doesn't hold car. Rear brakes okay, adjusted cable to 3 clicks. What am I looking for?

If you have rear rotors that look like a rotor mounted on top of a drum brake, you will have an emergency brake inside the drum portion. The rear brake rotors are not flat like the front rotors for this style.

The E brakes have brake shoes and they have "Star" wheels for adjustment just like the regular drum brake. You really need to take off the rear rotors to inspect the inner drum portion. If you do adjust the E brakes without looking at the drum part, chances are the drum is pitted and rusty and you will be lucky to stop once before the E brake linings are ground off.

The other type of E brake works off the Rotor pads. You will see the brake cable attached to a lever on each wheel. There will be an Equalizing cable connecting both rear wheels with an adjustment point joining the main cable. Although the 3 clicks moves the main cable, to have both rear brakes equally tight you need the Equalizing properly adjusted.

Those are the things you need to look for.

Need to replace rear brake rotors on 2003 Exp Sport Trac. can't get rotor off. see 4 nut behind assembly, believe they need to come off. once brakes off, how will that effect the e-brake/drum brake system,...

The rotor is not bolted on , the lugnuts from the wheel / tire holds the rotor in place. Once the caliper is removed , you will need to free the rotor from the wheel bearing/hub assembly . A large hammer will be required if rusted to the hub, then you may need to back off the e-brake shoes through the slot in the back of the backing plate, you must use a brake spoon and a pick to back off the adjuster to allow the rotor/drum to clear the ebrake shoes. please rate my answer, this helps me out , Thankyou have a great weekend.

How do you change the rear brakes on a 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis? The problem is with the passenger rear, it appears out of round. I replaced the rotor and pads the piston looks like it is seated properly...

Remove the rear wheel, you now have access to the brake drum. to remove it may be another story. There may be a few obstacles. First may be adjustment: You need to access the the backing plate, and remove the rubber plug if equipped. Then using a brake adjusting tool, back off the adjuster. It this still does not release it may be because of 2 more possibilities, one is a frozen drum to the hub (take a large hammer and hit between the studs-DON'T HIT THE STUDS. Second may be a worn drum from the linings wearing into it. Take it to a pro at this point, you may still lose the shoes or hardware in the process.

Ford explorer and ford explorer sport trac same exterior parts?

Above is correct, some body panels are interchangeable some aren't...Headlights, front fenders, hood yes. Doors unsure, bed and back no (obviously). The underpinnings (suspension) are similar, but not exact...and depending on the year, the Explorer went to independent rear suspension, while the sport trac kept the solid axle differential.
