Note. Cable part numbers see here.
The cable needs to be replaced when it needs to be adjusted often enough to compensate for the increase due to cable length extension. Also, the cables can lose mobility in their shells due to the rare use of the parking brake system (use it whenever you need it). A properly functioning system should keep the vehicle on a 23% grade with approximately 7 teeth of lever travel (clicks). Normally, the parking brake lever system should be adjusted no more than once a year, but if adjustment is required monthly, the cable must be replaced.

Removing
Place the vehicle on a two-post lift, apply the parking brake and turn off the ignition.
Remove the rear section of the floor tunnel lining. (see here).
Loosen the parking brake cables: To do this, lift the parking brake lever...
We take away the plug of the lining of the lever, which closes the adjusting nut.
...and the key «on 10» (or high head) almost completely unscrew the adjusting nut (No. 3 in Fig. 17-1) drive on the threaded tip of the front cable.
Lower the lever.
Remove rear wheels.
Remove rear brake drums. (see here).
Sliding the lever with a screwdriver (compressing the spring)...
Disconnect the cable from the shoe drive lever.
Squeeze the petals of the cable end retainer with pliers...
 |  |
... remove the tip of the cable from the hole in the brake shield.
 |  |
Remove the cable from the guide holes in the brackets on the rear suspension arms and in the brackets for attaching the rear suspension arms to the body.
 |  |
Release the cable from the fastening brackets to the gas tank, fuel line and bottom (flat screwdriver).
Using pliers, unscrew the three nuts securing the heat shield...
...and take it off.
Remove the cable from the plastic holder on the bottom.
 |  |
The cables are released from all holders.
Now pulling the cable a little into the cabin (pliers)...
... remove the tip of the cable from the groove in the equalizer. Pliers compress the petals of the latch of the front tip of the cable sheath (red arrow) ...
(Note: This operation is not easy to perform because you have to work in a tight space. But if the cable is removed for replacement, then you can simply break the plastic tabs of the latch)
... and take out the cable from the bottom of the hole in the bottom out.
Helpful Hint: If the cable removed from the vehicle is hard to move in the sheath, lubricate it. Pour engine or gear oil into the casing until it starts to run out of the opposite end of the casing. During the pouring process, periodically move the cable in the sheath.
Installation
Install the cables in the guide holes in the rear suspension arm-to-body brackets and in the brackets on the rear suspension arms.
Install the tips of the cable sheaths into the holes of the brake shields and connect the cables to the levers of the rear brake shoe drive (flathead screwdriver, pliers).
Install the ends of the cable sheaths into the holes in the body floor tunnel and fasten the cable sheaths in the fastening brackets to the bottom of the body, to the gas tank and fuel line.
Install the rear brake drums.
Install rear wheels.
Connect the cables to the handbrake lever equalizer.
Adjust the hand brake lever.
Install floor tunnel lining.
Check the efficiency of the service brake system.
Front replacement (short) cable
Fully loosen the cables by turning the adjusting nut to the end of the threaded lug (see above).
Disconnect both rear cables from the equalizer.
With a knife, carefully cut the carpeted floor behind the parking brake lever.
Note. Cutting the floor mat is necessary in order to gain access to the lower part of the parking brake lever without completely removing the front seats and floor mat. The cut part of the mat will not be visible, as it is covered by the lining of the floor tunnel.
Bend the cut pieces of carpeting to the sides.
Completely unscrew the adjusting nut from the threaded end of the cable...
... and, pulling the cable back from the groove of the parking brake lever, remove the cable assembly with the equalizer.
Prying off with a screwdriver, we alternately remove the plastic clips of the front cable tip from the equalizer.
Remove the front cable from the equalizer. Install the front parking brake cable in reverse order.
Parking adjustment (manual) brakes
Remove the back of the floor tunnel lining. (see here).
Remove the plug from the adjustment screw.
Turning or unscrewing the adjusting nut (key "on 10"), ensure that the handbrake lever stroke is approximately 6-7 clicks.
Perform several full strokes of the lever, as with a pressed button (no clicks), and with the released.
Release the lever.
If the adjustment is made on the ground, then alternately jack up the car to each side and rotate the rear wheel. The rotation of the wheel must be free, uniform.
When the lever is tightened, the wheels should be locked. (The vehicle must be kept on a slope of 23%).
Install all removed parts.
