Hello everyone, I'm new here and hoping for a little help... I have a 2004 Grand Prix and with lack of use of the parking brake, the rear cables have gotten rusty and won't hold while car is on and in drive. I know this only because I live in NY and it failed during inspection. They had me just get it lubed and working to pass the inspection last year. I want to replace them this year & have a few friends that work on cars here. I'm just wondering if this is a basic repair? These guys have changed my calipers, rotors, etc., so they're pretty handy. I just want to know if it's a better idea to buy the parts for $30 and have them do it, or pay $200+ to a garage to get it done? Anyone ever replace their cables themselves to know what kind of job it will be? Thanks for any help offered.
