Before or after the juncture? Each rear side is $120 iirc from Nissan… that’ll be your only option. Not sure how much the front section costs. ---

I’m trying to remove mine now, they’re a pain to get out of that junction, otherwise not bad so far. If you want my old ones shoot me an offer, I live in toronto. ---

> [@AppleSauce](#): > > I’m trying to remove mine now, they’re a pain to get out of that junction, otherwise not bad so far. If you want my old ones shoot me an offer, I live in toronto. Yeah, they are a pain. I torched mine so much that the beads melted off and are stuck to the garage floor. They sure did come off easily after that 🙂 And no, I’m not talking about the frame rails (why would I be?). I’m talking about each side of the e-brake cable… $120. ---

Give me call tomorrow 905-270-3166 I ordered mine last summer for my 240 from speedy brake and clutch (right next door to mssc) and I believe I paid under $80 for both rear lines, they were stainless cable with full lining type stuff… yeah MUCH better than oem. laters 🙂 ---

The ends are made to be torched out. Thats why it’s a soft metal. Thats the way we do them at work. Just don’t use to much heat and melt the bracket on the front cable but that also no hard to change. If you need to. I replaced all of mine both rear and front 3 weeks ago. Took about 45min that includes removal etc. ---

Pull the handle out, and drill out the rivit and remove the cable. Put in the new one and just press the pin and thats what hols it alone with the nut. I got the front cable for like $35 new, I’m guessing it would proberly be like $50-60 for you. ---

Unless you work for nissan, no. My cost on parts is cost + 10% and no I will not get parts for anyone. I paid $65 a side for the rear cables. Have fun paying almost double. ---
