If anyone finds this in the future searching - the rear rotors have threaded bolt holes that allow one to break the rotors free from the hub by tightening bolts into them.

correctomundo.you need to turn the wheel through the little hole on the rotor to loosen up the drum shoes.that's what the hole is for and not for screwing bolt to brake it loose.after put new rotor on ,you need to tighten back up the shoes through the hole again, so emergency brake would work, but not too tight.basically biggest pain in the a**.Never experienced it before with my others cars.live and learn ,i guess.

That's weird as usually that adjustment is external.
