How do u remove the rear calipers?
Time to replace my front and rear calipers because my earls speed bleeders are stuck in the caliper! I've replace the front with ls1 brakes so those are straightforward and did rear pads and rotors so removing them off the bracket is two bolts. The part I'm unsure about are the hand brake cable on the rear. Any tips? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you just release the cable housing from the bracket, get some slack in the cable and unloop it from the brake lever. It has been a while since I've done it. I don't remember it being very hard.

Took some night photos of the area.
Driver side rear:
Still not sure what to get it to release the cable. I guess I have remove the brake line first since there isn't much wiggle room.

where the cable goes through the bracket tabs expand to hold it in place, You need to squeeze them together and pull the cable through. then get some slack and unhook the end of the cable.

One of the calipers has the ebrake assembly the other doesn't. Is this normal? I couldn't remove the assembly so I reused the old drivers rear caliper. How do u get at the hex bolt and compress the spring so it would fit on the bracket. Seems to be a real pita.
