Default Back Brake Disc wont come off

Hello everyone...

Im changing the back brakes on a Uk300 impreza, have got the calipers off but cant get the discs off. Cant see anything holding it on. It wouldn't be the hub nut will it?

Please need help asap....

Thanks

The handbrake will need loosening off , on the backplate there is a rubber grommet , take this out , use a screwdriver to loosen off the handbrake shoe adjuster , its like a nut with lugs , use a flat headed screw driver to turn it , its a bit fiddly , but shouldn't need moving much.
When you fit the new discs , re-tighten it so the shoes just start rubbing , then take it a smidge back

I would never question what Ian says where brakes are conserned, but just to add, you have released the handbrake lever in the car havn't you
