Has anyone replaced the parking brake cable(s) on a 1993 Volvo 850?

Specifically, the cable assemblies that split-off to both the left and right
rear wheels from the main parking brake cable.

I have a sticky left parking brake. I've disassembled it, with the rotor
off, and it seems the brake mechanism is working OK, but problem is plastic
sheath on the parking brake cable on the left side coming thru the chassis
has worn away, exposing the steel cable, rusting, and thus not releasing the
brake shoes sometimes.

Resulting in a very hot wheel/rotor after driving for a while.

Thanks for any help,

Mike
