Busted E-brake Cable
Got my Green Flash inspected today and had them fix my e-brake. The cable on the assembly itself snapped so the handle and all needed replacing. Dealer only part so it was pricey!!! Thought I’d post a picture of it in case anyone has issues, this is probably what it is!!

You could've gotten a pair of ACDelco cables for $20 off rockauto.com. Don't ever believe that there are dealer-only parts.

Hell, I replaced virtually all the park. brake parts on my '79 Vette 5 yrs. ago....NOT that big of a deal....I got the parts thru Corvette Central.....NOT that big of a job.....doesn't sound like you're mechanically inclined, or maybe you don't have the place/tools to do stuff......so then U gotta "pay the piper"!!

I could not replace just the cables. The broken one comes right off the park brake assembly, therefore the entire mechanism had to be replaced. Since I do not have a garage It would have been a real pain in the ass for me to do it. Maybe if I was 30 years younger....

My repair manual says that the parking brake should do 3-5 clicks. Any more than that and you need to adjust it.

I surprised it broke off like that. It almost looks as if someone cut it with a cable cutter. Are there any ex girlfriends mad at you? lol!
