Well from tightening a e-brake cable on another car, along the e-brake line (under the car) there is a place where you can tighten it. All you have to do is turn a nut and it tightens. As for our cars I'd have to find my FSM to tell you. I'll get back to you later today if no one else does.

how do i go about replacing the whole thing?

Why would you need to replace the whole thing? The only thing you should ever need to replace shoud be the wire itself, and that would only be if it's cut. What exactly fucked up with it?
