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

[Rick Norris]

As to how easy it is to remove the cable from the handle or do anything 
under the dash depends on how old or agile you are. If i get under the dash 
for more than ten minutes it requires an emergency extraction by the local 
rescue squad!
