I'm having the stereotypical e-brake problem. Rear disc brakes locked up today. Freezing temperatures after a couple of days of rain, have caused the emergency brake cables to freeze, I believe. Both discs were hot after a short drive home this evening. The e-brake handle is loose now, no resistance when pulling up on the handle.

My question is this, has anyone replaced these cables themselves? If so, what kind of time and cost commitment is required? Any special tools required? I'm a poor college student working with next to no money. Any experience here?

Thanks,

Jake
