I would have figured if you can spin the wheel by hand, the P-brake shoes *should* clear and allow for rotor removal with the P-brake just normally disengaged.

My f150 has a way to enter service mode on the brakes, no tool required.

None of the cars that I currently own so, nothing specifically just yet. However, one day we will be driving vehicles with the e-P-brake and I am going to have to replace the rear pads at some point. Just want to get ahead of this issue.

As I stated above to others questions of which vehicle(s)...it's none of the vehicles that I currently own. All of my current vehicles have manual P-Brake(hand or foot lever).
However in the near future I will be acquiring a new(er) vehicle. And all new vehicles are being equipped with these electronic parking brake systems that seem to require a scan tool(or some form of for turning off the e-P-brake system that I am unaware of.
I don't personally know(or I wouldn't be asking) if they're all similar from mfg to mfg in this regard of needing to be turned off prior to doing a rear brake job. So, I asked the question about them in a general term.
