2007 3.0 Si rear brake discs will not release.

Handbrake off, Removed calipers, removed retaining screw on disc but the disk will not come off. Guessing the shoes are holding the disc on as I can wiggle the disc from side to side but i just can't get it off.
Do i have to adjust the handbrake or is there anything I am missing ?

If you look through one of the bolt holes you will see the brake shoe adjuster. You'll need to rotate it with a flat head screwdriver.

This is mine but slightly dismantled.

This is a good guide that I've used before
