ebrake wasnt on, and is the ebrake cable the metal hose that goes screws in to the back plate?

you loosen it by taking off your ebrake boot, and theres a screw with a little nut i believe 11mm deep socket, maybe 10 and you loosen it almost all the way.

or you can switch to discs like i did lol

You need a good heavy hammer to do it. They can rust onto the hub pretty damn tightly, especially if you live in the snowbelt.
