Rear rotors stuck, parking brake ?

Hello,

First off, it’s a 2011 328i xDrive 72K Kilometers (45K miles) on it.

So I parked the car for about 2 months and when I tried using it this week, the rear wheels were stuck, but the front worked fine (or so it seemed, with the drag going on). So I checked and the calipers are not the problem, but the rear rotor, when attempting to remove them, was stuck (only checked the rear left as of now). Tried hitting on it with a soft hammer, many times, but unfortunately it won’t get off. When I try pulling on it, it feels as if I’m also pulling another part with it. Can’t rotate much the rotor and now can’t even reassemble the wheel, as the rotor is not aligned with the holes and I can’t rotate it enough for it to be.

The parking brake, during the 2 months I was not using it, was never engaged. I only used it once I attempted to use the car, there were tons of eror codes due to the battery being disconnected, so that is one of the things I did, only temporarily.

Any way of knowing if it is indeed the parking brake that is the problem ? If so, what can I do to unstick it. I can try hitting some more if need be, but I’ve already done it a ton.

Thank you !
