They're actually really simple? Two wedge-shaped brake shoes that cam into the inner diameter of the wheel.

More not easy to servicd if they seized and you can disassemble half the car to get to all the cables and so on

You can almost always pop the cable (if you have to) and hit the rotor with a hammer, or use a puller.

If that doesn't work you hit it with a hammer from the other side until the parking brake shoes pop out of the pins and come off with the rotor.
