I dont think you will have to release the park brake cable... simply unbolt the caliper and the caliper bracket if neccesary, and leave the cable attached

How do you adjust parking brake on Ford Taurus?

# 1 Release the parking brake pedal to make sure it is disengaged. Put your Ford Taurus in "N" for neutral. # Step2 Raise your Ford Taurus rear wheels in the air using your jack and support the rear wheels with the jack stands. # Step3 Get underneath the vehicle and locate the parking brake cables. There is a cable coming from each rear wheel and meet in the middle with an adjuster nut. # Step4 Use the cable tension gauge 021-00018 or another tension gauge to measure the parking brake adjuster nut against the rear parking brake cable adjuster. Follow your tension gauge instructions to measure 18 to 26 pounds of tension for your 1996 year Ford Taurus and 34 to 46 pounds of tension for your years 1997 to 1998 Ford Taurus. # Step5 Press in on the parking brake foot pedal to the ground and then release the parking brake pedal. # Step6 Verify the rear wheels spin freely when the parking brake pedal is fully released. # Step7 Lower your Ford Taurus using the jack and remove the jack stands from the rear wheels.
