Parking brake cable install

Searched for parking brake and there's not much said about installing a cable. Where can you access the front cable? Do I have to take out the storage bins or is it easier to get to from the bottom by removing the exaust. The cable seems to disappear after it goes into the center console.

Have a friend try to sit inside and pull and let go on the brake. The cable should end in a why from starting at the hand brake and go to each rear wheel. try to look for that "Y" shaped cable.

That's the problem it snapped at the Y. But from what your saying it should be easily seen from under the car.

Most parkign brake cables are under the body, so you should see this one underneath. Its just gonna take a flash light and some patience.

Nice ride, how do you like the Tein coilovers? It looks like they lowered the car a bit.

It runs under the car, above the exhaust.
