Default Installing rear rotors?

Installing rear rotors on my 02 and I understand that I may have to disconnect the parking brake cable from a clip. I do not see any kind of clip but I do see a hook assembly where the cable is attached on the back side of the rotor. Any help would be appreciated.

go down to "Brake Rotor Replacement Rear" for a drawing, but it sounds like you've got it right

I usually just make sure the parking brake is off and pull the rotor and do not attempt to disconnect the cable from the parking brake at the rear.

Yep, I just replaced my rear rotors and I disengaged the parking brake and pulled the rotor off and slid the new one on. No problems here.
