I've never taken mine apart, but i know you need to remove the rear rotors to adjust it, don't quote me on that, though. I have a feeling it must be similar to a mountain bike, in the sense you unscrew a bolt that pinches the cable to hold it from slipping. here's a pic of the system from my FSM (courtesy of 88):

the adjuster is in the middle not at the drums/rotors. + you didn't really say which part of the cable busted.. it's 3 piece. (thanks for the correction GG)

 

p-j, i thought you were selling the parts off? back to trying to put them back together?

Which part snapped, there are 3 cables; left, right and the one that goes to the stick. I've replaced my left side (was snapped when I bought it) not too hard. Getting ready to replace the right (it snapped after I fixed the left side pssd ).

 

Hardest part is getting the metal tube out of the rear of the drum backing plate, the rest is cake.

its not hard to change...u might have to pull some carpet up to get to it...u unhook it from the drums...then back it out of the supports and unbolt it from the floor and pull it up thru the floor...

 

i have an extra 1 if u want to work that into the payment of the things i requested
