Rear brake rotor won't go back on

Hey guys,

I'm in the middle of a brake change and I'm having a problem getting my rear rotor to go back on. It looks like the e brake is getting in the way. Is there an adjustment for this? What am I missing?

Thanks
Doug

First of all, are you putting the exact same rotor on that you originally took off, or have you changed it to a different** rotor?
(**including same type, but new or used)

Next, if you are putting different rotors on, have you measured the diameter of the drum bore?

Next, if the bore is the same as what it was on the original you took off, is the parking brake fully released?

not sure what was going on...e brake was off. after playing around with it for a bit it went back on. I think I might have misaligned it while banging on the rotors to remove them.
