    Hi all,

    The car is a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix base 3800. I went to use the parking brake and something snaped. I had a look around and you’ll see in the pictures here like the adjuster casing from the front cable broke. I managed to pull it off the cable. I would think that the mechanism is repairable please. As in could I buy just the part that broke. I did have a look for the part online, but I wasn’t able to pinpoint. Otherwise the cables are in decent shape, the two rears ones were changed. My guess is that I would have to disconnect the front cable from it.

    This one I found is not a match online, but it really does look similar

    That cable looks pretty messed up on the ends. I haven’t looked at mine in a long time, though... I’ll take a look at the setup when I get home.

    I’m having a hard time visualizing what that would look like before it was broken... and it looks like you’re showing pictures back between the rear wheels?

    It also looks like the adjuster is intact (the threaded part), though absolutely wrecked by rust. If that’s what’s broken, you’ll be better off just buying a new rear right cable. It comes with it... I’d do both sides while I’m back there.

    Like I said, it’s been years since I’ve actually looked at mine, so I’ll check it in a couple hours and get back.

    Should be easy to swap out, if you can get that part.

    Yeah that part is replaceable, but honestly it might be a real fight with how rusty they are.

    Even if you hold off til the weather improves a bit to tackle it, you should be able to do it.
