So long as you raise the rear of the car the job isn't too difficult. You have to be careful with the routing of the long cable under the car and into the centre console housing. As John says, be careful with the cable connection to the brake shoes. You'll need to remove the rear LH brake caliper (NOT the brake line), then the drum, to access the shoes. Post again if you're not sure how to proceed. Regards.

Yes, you'll need to replace it from the emergency brake handle to the left rear wheel. You can use my garage to do the work. It is quite comfortable inside. A new aftermarket cable is $39 from FCP Groton. The only tip I can offer is to look closely at the attaching point at the left rear brake before you remove the parts. There is also a clamp held by a 10mm head bolt under the car

Usually it is manual transmission cars which suffer broken emergency brake cables. Most people with auto transmission cars don't use the emergency brake that much.

Mine broke like this the other week, my mechanic had to replace the whole cable.
