E-brake repair, How to? 1987 4KCSQ

[Brendan Walsh]

So in hte process of replacing the rear brakes on my 4KQ, i managed to
break the threaded rod that connects the e-brake cables to the lever
in the cabin. So here's my question, how the heck does that sucker
come out? it appears to be part of the actual assembly of the lever,
bent around a pin at the handle end. Any BTDT's? Can i replace this
with some threaded rod from home cheapo (modified to fit of course) or
do i need to call my local parts store?
TIA
Brendan
