You mean the return spring on the caliper? No big deal, just use a wrench instead of a socket wrench. In the cable is in the way, just use extensions and if it's still in the way, either just take it off or use a wrench instead of a socket wrench.

Every time I get pissed off about the brakes on our cars, I think about my gf's Civic were it took me two afternoons to do the front brakes since Honda decided to use philips screws to hold the rotors in place...
