First, take the steering wheel off, then take the cover off to get to the brake pedal. Next, remove footrest to get to the cable. Squeeze clip to remove the cable put the new cable on. You will need someone to help you to put the cable on the brake end. It's a little tricky, you will have to pull the cable while the other person tries to put the clip in place.
