Hand break cable

Easiest way to fix it would be to replace it. Hit up the dealer or wrecker.

I just replaced mine in my civic... It's not that bad, I picked em up used off of a beyond member here.

It'll cost ~50 IIRC from the dealership... that's for a set I think... Might be more as well.

i have an integra parts car where i am pulling it from... the job just seems impossible to do... i have started to open it but i dont know how to get the cable past the inside of the car to the outside...any suggestions

You finally got them in eh? Hope they're working out for ya, mine sure are!

And what?! Only $50 for a brand new set from the dealership? I paid $75 at the junkyard for my replacements!! You sure it's not EACH?

Take off the plastic piece that covers your handbrake and you'll see how they're attached. There's two grommets that feed the cable itself into the car; simply push the grommets through and they'll come out easily. The whole process is actually pretty simple. The hardest part, though, will probably be putting the cables back onto the handbrake after you've replaced them.

One brake cable cost me over $90 at CMS for a 3rd gen Lude.

Got ONE in... the broken one, lol.

Other one goes in when I have time... Now that I know how to do it, it should go much faster.
