I may have problems with my E-Brake, but I'll explain what I did to get 2 new pads in and hopefully others can evaluate and comment. The single bolt used to hold the brake pads in place has a spring on it and its my opinion that the purpose for this is to allow the screw to be backed off slightly to allow the pad to float and self adjust to the angle of the bracket to the rotor. Loosening the rear screw was the only way I could get the rear pad installed and the assembly adjusted so the rotor would rotate. I hope this doesn't come back to bite me.
Archrms, I dont think you should remove or loosen the U shaped mounting plate, the idea is to partially disassemble the e brake itself to make it easier to remove the 4 drive shaft bolts and swing the rotor out of the way to remove the pads and install new ones.
I am not a mechanic, racer, or expert so please take any comments I make as potentially inaccurate, just trying to help others figure out a solution.
