Rotor replacement and E brake

Any tips on dealing with the E brake when replacing the rear rotors and pads on 230i xdrive? YouTube video? Instructions? Tips?

Thanks

Guess I should have said parking brake, not E brake.

Just that the rear parking brake has to b off to remove the rotor.

There are YouTube videos.

The hardest thing is disconnected the sensor wire plug behind the wheel well liner. Not that it’s hard but I have trouble pulling those kind of connections apart.
