Default DIY 2004 Accord EXV6 Rear Disc Brake Pad replacement

I want to replace my rear brake pads on my 2004 Honda Accord. I never did rear
disc brakes before. I have done front disc brake pad replacement on other cars with no problem.

Would like to have step by step what to do. I already pulled off the rear tire
and it looks like a front disc brake caliper just a parking brake cable is
attached to it. I think thats what's intimidating me!

I have read other posts and it looks like the piston is screwed in to the caliper.
Does the parking brake cable get removed from the caliper before
pulling off the caliper? If so is there any trick to that?

Also do I have to worry about the ABS. I never changed brakes on an
ABS brake system.

What is the minimum thickness of the pad before it should be replaced?

Thanks for any help in advance.
