Your kinda against a wall on this one. You could try getting it form a junk yard though.

[dj inferno]

ok does anyone know why sumone would do this? lol

[cjthor]

Year and model of car? I might be able to help.

[dj inferno]

the car is a 1992 mx3.... idk if it snaped or was cut, cuz i took it to first line to get my clutch replaced and asked them if they new what was wrong, and they said it was cut, the dumbass i bought it from told me that when they put the 17" on they had to disconect the Ebrake cuz the cable wasn't long enough... i think he was full of sh... stuff... but w/e lol

lol told ya... but yah... how hard would it be to install the lines if i figured out what the hell he did?

[Aston Wards]

I don't think it should be all that hard, it's just a cable isn't it? I guess you're lucky that was the only thing that got in his way!

Well the old one is still under there right? Just replace as you go when you get a new one. Simple as that. The guy you bought your car from sounds like a genious by the way

[papa roached]

what a doofus this guy must have been

[mx3man83]

Enough about the guy he bought the car from, let's help him solve his problem. I've got a spare mx-3 and the e-brake worked just fine. If you want my cable and handle or whatever, let me know and shoot me an offer.

Hey my e brake cable snaped too, so i went to the dealer and bought the front brake cable. There are 3 brake cables. Look in the book if u have the book. All u need to do is take out that shield that is in betwen your exhaust pipe and your car. A couple of bolts that might be rusted so i had it fixed for 30 USD cash by some heavy metal punk mechanic that had a car lift and an impact gun. Replacing the cables that go to the brake drums is not that easy...haven't done it yet so i can't help. It's pretty esy to change the front brake cable thats the one that is conected to your brakelever. Sice i couldn't get that shiled out i had to take it to that mechanic but i removed the interior of teh car myself so it was cheap.

lol ok... ummm welll..... let me drive it up to the corner (first line engien shop), they have worked on it b4 (new clutch) and see if they will charge me to tell me whats REALLY wrong sence i don't got a car lift to see under da car. thx ppl, i'll let ya know what they say probley in like a day or two thx... oh and i might just needa buy the clable from sumone cuz im sure it will be cheaper then from mazda lol

That cable is kind of hard to find at autozone or other car part stores, a junkyard might do it but hey it was 34 USD brand new and they had it in stock. How far are u from cleveland ohio? if u are close i could help.
