87 SDL emergency brake release problem ??

n/a i have a 87 sdl and my emergency brake pedal will no longer retract with hand pull.ive used my foot to lift it up,but now that will not work anymore.i
was told that my cable needs replacing and that its not in the foot pedal mechanism.has anyone replaced this-my indy shop said its a 7 hour labor job.i would like to do this myself and know that the front and rear seat carpet and console have to come out.any info on console removal or other tips .?
