hey guys, my e-brake line snapped. I was wondering how much work is it to fix this if i was to do it myself? how much would a shop charge?

 

have u ever changed a brake line on a bike? if so, then you should know how to change the line. if not, some shop would probably charge like 50 bucks

 

awesome man, thanks.. looks like ill do it myself then

 

sorry for the double post btw, im a noob

 

My e-brake cable needs replacing also.. my mechanic said it was NOT easy to do though. I don't know if he was lying to get money out of me or what.

 

jack up ur car and take a look....its not that difficult...if anything u'd need small hands and alot of patience..........wear goggles......cause more than likely it'll be rusty

 

i have to replace the trunk cable on my vert, it doesnt look as easy

 

Victoria British has them, make sure you know which one you need, before you order.

 

I hate it when this happens.

Replacing the line is fairly easy, but you need to remove the transmission (and thus the driveshaft and exhaust) to get at it. After that, all you need to do is remove the e-brake trim and line retaining nut, the two brackets under the car that hold it on, and pry the other end from the holder at the back of the cable.

It's at least 3 hours of work if there are no problems (such as broken exhaust bolts).

 

^^ That's what my mechanic said. I guess he wasn't lying
