Replacing my brakes on my 99 crown victoria?

I am replacing the rear brakes on my 99 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and I can not get the rotor off (Already got the caliper and brake pads off). My haynes repair manual says there are rivets holding it in place but I can not find any rivets, or even a place where the rivets should be. Any help would aprreciated Replacing my brakes on my 99 crown victoria?
the best thing to do if your going to replace the rotor is to give it some good hits with a hammer to break to rust loose.they usually are rusted onReplacing my brakes on my 99 crown victoria?
I'm not sure of the rivets but try gently banging on the rotors edge with a hammer or on the studs(put the lug nuts back on with them almost flush with the threads and bang on the nuts itself). This will prevent damaging the threads.. It could be that there just really stuck.



If that doesn't work try asking a mechanic at the Ford dealership. Replacing my brakes on my 99 crown victoria?
maybe a nut in the middle or take a hammer to it ive also seen them with screw holes that youy have to screw in to push off
and soak it in something like PB blaster or wd40. both break up rust and make it easier to remove
