<VV> Has anyone ever repaired an e-brake cable ?

[Charles Lee]

You're right, Clark's catalog does verify the difference.  I was so busy 
trying unsuccessfully to access the other guys' catalogs that I didn't see 
that.

Has anyone ever repaired one of these ?  I know it's only $30 (+S&H + 
waiting for it to come), but even that seems like a lot for 9' of cable ?

Does the pin in the brake handle come out easily - it seems nicely 
squirreled away above and behind the steering column.
The pulleys seem fairly accessible.

Seems like the hard part is removing the cable and installing it.
Building a new "middle" part of the old cable seems easy enough, with no 
downside - could even put a piece up there under the dash for adjusting more 
easily than going underneath to do that later ?
