Parking brake cable removal, hub removal.

Hi

I am attempting a rear wheel bearing replacement on a 2003 Boxster S.
So far I have stripped everything back to the reveal the parking brake shoes. As I am going for a hub removal to get the hubs to the local guy to press out and replace, I will need to remove the parking brake cable from the rear of the hub.
Does anybody have a schematic of the parking brake assembly, or have any tips on how to remove the cable and cable guide from the hub?
Also whilst flushing the brake fluid I managed to snap a brake bleed nipple from the left rear caliper!!! a few were very tight. So the caliper will need to be removed for some spark eroding to the embedded nipple. The brake line connection into the caliper is also very tight, I am a bit concerned that will also snap if too much force is applied....any tips on how to remove the brake line from the caliper.
Last question......when the hub is free from the shock absorber, is it just a case of pulling it away from the drive shaft, or will I need some sort of puller to get it free?



Thanks in advance for any advise on this topic.

Rob
