Here's a section from my How-To for replacing your pads and rotors.

Step 7:
Now we're going to remove the rear rotor. You can try tapping it loose with a hammer but chances are that it's being held on there by the parking brake shoes. If this is the case then try these 2 options in order.

- First: Loosen the parking brake by turning the adjusting screw enough that the brake shoe moves away from the rotor. There is a rubber cover on the hole, just pull it out and you'll see the adjusting screw. When you loosen the screw count the number of teeth you moved it by because you are going to need to adjust it when you put the new rotor on!!!
