Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for all of the help. Just wanted to follow up - I was able to use some channel locks, per the good suggestions above, to get the brake pad away from the rotor and now everything is spinning freely. This allowed me to complete my parking brake adjustment. I've gone from 7-8 clicks and the car not firmly stopped, to 3-4 clicks with the brake on tight. Feels good!
Thank you for all of your help!
Pete
