Is there any easy way to replace the sheath for the hand brake cable? It looks very *****ded into the chassis...

Let me know if you find a way. I've never been able to crack that particular puzzle.

haha...well it looks like they're totally puddied onto the chassis above the fuel tank. Only way i can see is to rip it all out and use clips or something on the replacement.

I used a lot of penatrated fluid with drilling coolant and a high quality cobalt drill bit. Cobalt drill is harder than the coiled sheath of the e-brake cable. I'm not sure if it would be easier to get a reversed drill or just a standard one. wither way, a good drill and an excellent bit with patience will get it out.
