You do not have to take the whole emergency break assembly or pound out the stop tab, to take out the old cable. Simply reach your left hand under the cover panel, and feel for two little pins at the top of the assembly. Find the one closest to the top, nearest the handle, and push down on the pin. Once it is pushed down, the whole rod will go down an extra 1/2 inch or so, which will reveal the cable socket opening. Now you can take out or put in new cable...
i can second this. This was very helpful on my 1990 4Runner, just took out the ebrake light switch and the pulley, pushed the pin closer to the handle down, the handle went in a little further because the switch wasn't in the way, and I was able to take the end of the cable out from the area where the pulley was. Did not need to remove the brackets, cut, notch, pull, press, or grind anything. Toyotas are built smarter than that!
