    Take a look at the back of it. The parking brake bracket has two small, likely rusted bolts holding the bracket to the hub.

    Been there..fought that. Best suggestion is if they are rusted to heck, grind the heads, then go to the hardware store and get two new little bolts. I think they are M6 x 1.00 or M4 x 1.00
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I got mine out by hitting the side of the bearing with a giant hammer. Probably not the ideal way to do it, but I didn't feel like screwing with it for 3 days.
