Rear parking brake removal
I am trying to replace my rear axle seals on a 95 4Runner and cannot figure out how to remove the rear parking brake from the wheel housing.
It is a hose type fitting on either side that I cannot figure out how to remove.
Does anyone know how to get this detached?
Sorry the picture sucks...

The park brake disconnects just by popping a clip from the cable end.
The "hose" is the brake line.
See if this helps:

You're pic didn't load before. Your's isn't different because the year (the 89-95s are supposedly the same) but maybe because it's a 4Runner? I wonder why it would be different than a truck, I have rear ABS too.... Anyway, I can't tell what that is in the picture, it's too close up to get a frame of reference. Sorry, I tried.

Finally figured it out
Well it turns out that you have to get to this little bugger from the inside. So, after taking off the outer part of the drum I was able to remove two 10mm screws and detach the end of the spring and feed it out.
I have two pictures. The first is looking down on to the wheel where you can see the "hose/spring" goes into the drum.
The second shows the inside looking from the side.
Thanks to all who offered help.
