I hate to even ask about this because I'm sure it's something simple but I can't see how to install new e-brake cables. I had to cut the old ones out and then use vice grips and pliers to get the ends out of the tubes, no problem there. I just can't figure out how to get the cable back in, i tried sliding them in from back to front but the threaded portion doesn't fit in the tube, close but not quite. I can't see any way to disassemble the cable itself as everything looks crimped together. Any tips?

It should slide up the tube. You have to take the nut off...
Did the end come out of the welded- on tube? Often they rust on, and the end looks just
like a bit of the tube. Your old ones should have had end caps on both ends- I bet your
end caps are still stuck to the tubes under the car.
