Which part of it? Unbolt the bracket that holds the line to the rear. Pull back the little spring that attaches to the brake shoe, pop it out and that's it.

You need to hammer off the rotor, use a screw driver to pry up on the ebrake horse shoe then pull forward over the axle flange,

Then turn down the adjustment on the bottom of the brake.

No, its all attached to the backing plates. The cable is a different deal, its hooked onto the back side, if the backing plate has to come off, so does the axles.
