Looking for instruction on how to replace my e-brake release cable. More specifically, how do I remove it from the dash without destroying anything? My pull handle is broken, found one at a local yard, but couldn't get behind the dash to figure out how to get it loose. I looked online, searched the forum, even asked a mechanic friend, but got nowhere. I assume there's a clip of some kind. Could someone point me in the right direction, please?

There are two flanges on the backside of the dash. They are difficult to get to. You have to push both in at the same time, and it will slide out of the front. Once you get them pushed in to the point where the black plastic end of the cable will go through the dash, the cable will follow. I have removed a couple, and they are a RPITA.

Sounds like I will need a mirror and flashlight and a whole lot of patience. Thanks for the direction!

The flanges are on the cable end at the dash, not the dash. You should practice on one at the junk yard before you attempt the one on your car.

Good to know, and good idea. Any chance you have a pic of a cable to make it more idiot proof?

I will try to get a pic this weekend. I need your email, because the forum does not like my pics.

No PM. Check my email on my parts for sale thread in the vendor section.
