1st loosen the e-brake lever cover located inside of the car
2nd loosen the screw on the ebrake lever (just enough to loosen the cable)
3rd get a plier and pull out the cable (rear brake ones) it requires you to pull out and turn it to remove the cable
4th do what u need to do
5th put the cable back in and tighten the cable again (note *do not over tighten the ebrake cable too much or else your rear brakes will burn up)
6th put everything back and go for a test drive

lastly it might take some time to adjust your e-brake so that it is just right.

hope this helps
