This is for the 84-89 300ZX. There are 3 separate pieces that go with the Parking Brake. 1) The handle on the center console which has a cable connected to it, which in turn goes through the floor to a Y type cable connection. 2) Left side cable connected to the rear brake caliper that is channeled through the fame a few inches with clips that keep it in place. 3) Is the same as 2 but on the right side. I will have t assume that your cable is rusted and seized up. If the #1 cable seizes, you have to replace the whole handle piece which comes off with 4 bolts, 2 on handle and 2 for the cable that passes through the floor. The other two, you have to take the rear tires off and get under the car and take off the clips that hold the cable to the frame. Pull the cable out through the frame and replace.
