To replace the brake pads on the rear will I need to disconect the the e-brake cable?

I got as far as removing the clip and unhooking the cable.
But I do see how it will slide out on the hole , do I hit it out or it need to be unscrewed?

Do i even need to disconnect it at all ? or just remove the two bolts and remove the caliper and leave the cable onnected?

Just remove the two bolts.

Remember, you shouldn't use a clamp to push the piston back in the rear caliper. It needs to be screwed back into the housing.

Thanx, work much easier to just remove the 2 bolts then disconnect the e-brake cable.
rear brakes are pain compare to the front. all done...

After you remove the two bolts you still don't have to remove the cable!

Nope just undid the 2 bolts .. left the cable alone.
I was following clilton's manual and it said to remove the cable.
I said to myself why? so I ask here and got the answer I wanted to hear.
