Hey everybody sup. Well today when I went to the gas station to pump gas, I pulled my e-brake too hard and now my e-brake doesn't work.
What do I need to do? How do I fix this?

Cables probably broke.
Jack up the car and look underneath and trace the lines.

The E brake cables connect to the rear calibers, start there a trace it back toward your ebrake from under the car.

Well I found out where it was and it broke from the line. Was pretty rusted. Any idea how much this is going to cost?
