Your GMC Suburban emergency brake release cable is held in place with a swivel nut on each end of the cable. Loosen the swivel nut to remove the cable. Reverse the process to install the new emergency brake release cable.
Sometime the brake shoes will rust or freeze to the drum. TAke it to a garage.
You do not need to disengage the emergency brake to remove the rotors. Go to the local Auto store and get yourself an emergency brake spring remover. You will use this to take the spring off and use it to put it back on afterwards. I've used pliers before but its a real pain. The tool will make it 10 times easier. I think this is what you meant.

If your vehicle has separate dash panel warning lights for brakes and emergency brakes, then the e-brake light being on while not engaged may indicate that the e-brake switch may be maladjusted or faulty. If the brake warning light is on, it may indicate a brake fluid leak, or in some cases, low brake fluid levels in the reservoir. If your vehicle has a shared warning light for e-brake and brake warning, all causes listed above could apply.
There is a small metal lever back by where the foot lever rotates (normally the release cable is hooked into it) Pull it forward and the foot lever will release - careful it doesn't smack you in the face!
