    ok, figured it out. There's a lil plug on the bottom-rear of the disk that needs to be removed. Inside you'll see a small gear which is used to adjust the parking brake. Take a flathead and turn it so the gear teeth move from bottom to top till it stops. Doing so will retract the parking/e-brake pads enough so that the disks can be pull out. Everything is pretty much straight forward with removing calipers, brackets, and pads. This hickup thing with the e-brake is what took me a few tries.. Actually it added to some 3 hours to what honestly could have taken 10-15 minute for each side.

    If it were me, I'd just drill it out. Get a good metal bit, about half the diameter of that bolt, and drill right through the middle. Then grab your vice graps, give a little twist, and it should come right out. Just be sure not to drill too deep if there is anything behind the bolt, and if there is, just use one of the other bolts to judge how deep to go. Also, be careful to drill straight through so you don't hose up the threaded hole.
