Reply to "E-Brake Removal from Rear Caliper"

Disconnect the cable from the small round pulley (pin and cotter pin holding it) so that the cable is hanging loose (I'm assuming that the cable is still attached in the middle), Now you should have a few inches of inner cable showing, slide the outer cable half back over the showing inner cable towards the other half of the opposite outer cable. That should give the inner cable enough room to be pulled out of the outer cable and enable you to release it from the caliper. If the inner cable is frozen inside the outer cable and will not move, soak it in some penetrating oil (sometimes solvent works), put the end of the inner cable (where it attaches to the caliper) in a vise, and try pulling the outer cable back and forth to free it. Hope this helps. (I've done it a few times but still hard to explain on paper). Anyway, good luck and Happy New Year!
