Need a Quick Answer about a the rear hub

Does the rear passenger hub (4 bolts) come out without having to do anything to parking brake or is it physically attached to the parking brake? I need to get my car back together.

The bolts that secure the hub assembly also hold the backing plate for the park brake. The plate is between the hub and the knuckle.

Yup got the 4 bolts but on the back there are also another three bolts, 1 is for the parking brake cable the other 2 I am guessing is holding the parking brake to the knuckle. If I only took out the 4 bolts on the hub behind the knuckle shouldn't the hub come off leaving the parking brake attached to knuckle? Or is there other bolts I am missing?

I am hoping to take the hub off only if possible.

No, you must disassemble the entire thing, because it's all bolted together. I don't think you can remove the hub without removing both brakes. Not sure about the extra 2 bolts. Do they hold the caliper on maybe?

I already removed the caliper bolts, the extra 3 bolts are at the bottom of the knuckle.

The TSB's diagram looks like the hub was only held on by four bolts and looking at the hub it self it should come straight out.

If I have to take out the parking brake, do I have to loosen the adjustment bolts in the center console to remove the cable or is there some trick to it?

It's held on by four bolts, no need to take off the parking brake to remove the hub but necessary to grind per the TSB
