MOTHERFVCKING FVCK ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! NEED HELP.
rear brake pad is rusted to the rotor and the holes are mis-aligned so I can't put the wheel back on.
I AM SO FVCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW.
I have hammered and malletted the FVCK out of the pad, rotor, caliper, etc and it won't fvcking budge.
I don't have brake cleaner but am not sure what I should use anyway because it's rotor surface.
Please help before I torch my car.

Try putting a long flat screwdriver in the rotor vent and turning. Try prying the pad outward
(radially) by prying under the pad spring.
All four wheel off the ground? Start it and put her in gear. Try turning opposite wheel. Try putting a strap wrench around the disc hat and turning it.

That's like Carl in Slingblade adding gas to fix the engine that no one else could make run;-)

Well, assuming the hub isn't rusted to the rotor too, try grabbing the axle from behind and turning
it.
If that doesn't work; with the front wheels on the ground, the engine off, car in gear, and parking brake off, try to rotate the wheel on the other side of the rear axle, that will turn the opposite side hub under the rotor.
There are a bunch of other tricks to try, but the basic idea is to rotate the hub under your frozen rotor, once you get the holes lined up, either mount your wheel, or stick the bolts in and try to use the car to break the rotor loose.
