E brake cable replacement?

Has anyone had to do this, or knows how to do this? I've heard it's a long job so I don't want to pay someone JUST for replacing this.

I only need the drivers side replaced.

Any productive input would be appreciated

Hard? He'll no! Well, maybe.

If you have stock exhaust, you will have to remove it. That can be hard due to old, rusted, seized bolts. The resonator section is the main issue. You can probably work around the b-pipe. You'll need to remove the exhaust heat shields. Once removed, the cable is clearly secured at certain points. Remove the cable toward the front and you won't have to worry about removing the caliper.

hardest part about the job is getting the car high enough to really work with the exhaust.
