Changing Rear Brake Rotors 200 2003

Hey ya'll, I'm trying to replace the rear brake rotors on my 93 240 wagon.
I've done the front brakes and new rotors, no problema. Also replaced the rear pads, but there's a vibration coming from the rear. Last night got the calipers off, but couldn't shake the rotor loose. Any ideas? I've got the Haines book - they mention backing off the e-brake adjustment screw, but I don't think my car has that (couldn't see it) Btw - everybody says hang the calipers on a wire, but I've got rigid tubing that won't bend that far. It was actually pretty easy to disconnect the brake line. The secret is to put a piece of plastic bag under the brake fluid filler cap to reduce brake fluid loss down to 1-2 drips, and re-connect the brake line before re-mounting the caliper to allow easier alignment of the fitting in the caliper. I'm up to about 3 sets of front rotors on 3 wagons, but never had to do the rear until now!
Thanks in advance.
