    Default Difficulty on Ebrake Cable

    How difficult is it to replace all the e brake cables on a 98 GP GT i belive my girlfriend snapped it while parking on a hill. because it feels like theres no tension when u press it down (Like it has no cable attached to the pedal)

    I would have to guess that you won't need to replace all the cables..... You prolly broke a connector, or one of the cables somewhere between the pedal and the shoes. Pending on what broke will deterimine the extent of the repair.

    Agreed, take a look and find out whats wrong before immediately planning on changing out the entire cable.
