Nice lucena puzzle!
SUPER PUZZLE
lesson saved
A Lucena solution is given but it is not really a Lucena position. The much easier (and advised) method for this type of position is to simply shield the open file next to the white pawn:
1. Rb2 Ke7 2. Kb7 Kd7 3. c8Q+ Rxc8 4. Rd2+ winning the rook.
(not saying it is the shortest way but it is the way which works for a greater number of rook endings than the Lucena manoeuve)

Can you tell me how to make a puzzle?
(Assuming you have an idea for a puzzle) Click on the diagram icon in the left upper corner of a new post and choose to setup a position. The process is similar to the use of the Analysis feature of chess.com but there are a few extra steps:
- Enter the moves of the solution line you wish the solver to follow. When you right click the mouse on a move you get a number of options to finetune your solution like adding comments and variations.
- Don't forget to click on the puzzle box under the Theme section of your diagram edit.
- You probably have to play around a bit with the editor and you can always make corrections by reopening a post, select a diagram in the post and click on the diagram icon. Takes you back to the last state you left the diagram in.
