Hi. I have a 2011 B200. I was parking on a very steep hill, and pulled up on the emergency brake too hard and the cable snapped. The mechanic I was using at the time said to order a Front Park Cable, so I sourced it on eBay and it arrived recently.

Any tips on how to replace it? It looks like one cable, so I assume it must connect to some sort of device that has a cable to the shoes in the disc brake assemblies on both wheels?

Thanks,
Mike
