Default HELP - Replacing Studs - What Do I Do Next!! (pics inside)

I am replacing my stock studs and have gotten as far as removing the caliper and rotor. What do I do now?? There is not enough clearence to remove/install studs.

Do I remove the e-brake housing?? If so, how do I do that??

Here's what it looks like right now . . .

I figured it out - you don't need to touch the e-brake at all.

Just remove the sensor at the back (in the second pic) - one 9mm (i think) bolt and it's out, and leaves a perfect little removal/insert hole for the studs. I'll be done in a few hours!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
