to remove the rotors.
rotate the access hole (6th hole in rotor) to 5:00 driver, 7:00 passenger side, to access star screw.
Rotate DOWN on drivers side, UP on passenger side to retract parking brake.
(test your progress by pulling up on the lever).
Process is reverse for adjusting to tighten.
My rear rotors wouldn't budge without retracting p-brake, never had trouble removing otherwise.
When replacing cable, either get a ratcheting 1/2" wrench or an extra deep socket for the front attachment / adjustment nut.
Might be wise to PB Blast the threaded end of that bolt a day ahead, and possibly antisieze it as you work, those threads can be a bit corroded.
