Really ain't no fixing a brake cable. Replace it with a new cable.

There's a servo motor on the right side of the steering column (just below the bottom of the dash) that releases a cable when you push down on the brake. If it's working properly it will disengage the cable when you press on the brake in park and suck the cable back in when you release the brake. Mine burned out, so I unplugged the cable to the motor, pulled the cable loose and now I can always shift out of park -- even if my foot isn't on the brake. No big deal!
