E-brake

My emergency brake cable just broke. It could be a pice of linkage. It was working then I pushed little to hard and it went down too much. Now no E-brake. I imagine ill be taking off the tunnel cover to get at it. Is there anything I can look out for as the culprit, or any tips on doing the job.
Thanks as always

Thats what I was going to do. I know I'm wimpy but the ground is cold I wish I had a lift. Don't feel sorry for me though it was only down to 27F here. The east coast is way colder. Its still chilly when your laying on concrete. Time to get a new creeper.

its working just not as good. Maybe it is on the way out. I have to push it all the way down now. Looks like I'll tackle this job in the future.
