Rear Brake Rotor Won't Slide Over Parking Brake Shoes - Back Off Adjuster

BrakesintermediateOP Confirmed
Problem

When reinstalling rear brake rotors/discs, the rotor will not slide back over the parking brake shoes due to the shoes being expanded too far out.

Rear brake rotor will not fit back over the parking brake shoes during reinstallationRotor appears to be blocked by expanded brake shoes inside the drum portion
Root Cause

The parking brake shoe adjuster was set too tight, causing the shoes to be expanded further than the rotor drum can accommodate. The adjuster needs to be backed off before the rotor can be reinstalled.
