Front there is a ball that goes into the equalizer bar the cable is held in with a 3 prong clip, same as drum, on drum take the shoes off and twist the ebrake leaver off, push the prongs in and push the cable out, and make sure the ebrake is relaxed.

wow i just replaced my cut ebrake cables last weekend be careful when you attach the brake cable to the actual shoe its self the ebrake spring is under alot of tension and it can be a bugger to pull back
