parking brake threaded rod on 90q20v

[Dan Simoes]

The parking brake cables mount on a little triangular metal piece under
the car, and this piece is pulled forward by a threaded rod, which is
attached to the ebrake handle.  

The last time I replaced cables, the rod broke due to rust, but I was
able to clean the threads and get another nut on there.  Now, with new
brake pads, the rod is not long enough, so I have to get a new one.

My question is this - how does the rod attach to the ebrake handle and
how do you gain access to it, from above or below?

Appreciate some been there done that on this.
