For a drop bar road bike:
1. Unhook cable at brake
2. Pull level down as if braking
3. Look inside there should be a screw figure out which type of screwdriver you will need
3. Loosen the screw until the brake lever assembly moves easily.
4. Unwind the bar tape and pull the brake lever off.
For flat bar bikesyou should be able to see the screw for the clamp immediately. Pull grip off, loosen screw and the brake lever should slide right off.

Pedal brakes, AKA coaster brakes have the actual brake mechanism inside the rear hub. It's sometimes possible to disassemble the rear hub and remove the brake shoes so that turning the pedals backward won't brake the bike anymore - but that usually still won't make it possible to back pedal more than a half turn or so.
Unless the brake is dragging badly, you're better off leaving it in. Saves you the trouble of having to readjust the bearings and whatnot.

∙ 6y agoWhen you brake, the weight of the bike will shift forward. so the rear will skid quite easily, be prepared to let up on that. On good Surfaces, the front can take a lot of braking, but you need to brace your arms and get your body low-and-back to keep from tipping forward.

You need to fully disassemble the rear hub and remove the brake shoes.
Even after that, you won't be able to back-pedal(much).
