Front Parking Brake Cable Replacement

2002 RX...my front cable just snapped....after only 21 New York winters!!!! They just don't make em like they used too!!! LOL!!!

Since I did not had the need to replace it, so I have nothing to share, except, word of caution that the auxiliary brake is a needed mechanism, specially in emergency. So don't put the repair off or treat it as an optional accessory. You might be tempted to just replace the inner, but I would suggest changing the outer too.
