Parking brake issue
 
So I put hub spacers on my rear wheels and may have over tightened one of my star wheel spacers. Don't know, I had issues with it so I adjusted it to the same width as the other side which I didn't mess with at all.

I then took my car for a short drive to set the lugs so I could retighten. No issues at all. Park the car and then ran to the store a few hours later, as I pulled out I could hear the side I had to guess on the star wheel spacer setting making a whirring noise, so figured I over tightened it and it was activating the parking brake. I turned around to come back he and it popped. Now the parking brake lever is completely slack. This makes me think I busted the cable. Anyone agree? Has anyone replaced the cable on their z?

The FSM has procedures for repairing/adjusting.

Any idea what section? I found the info for the regular brakes and then the adjustment instructions for the parking brake, but am not finding anything referencing the cable itself.

Section PB (Parking Brake System). Pages 6-7 of the 2009 FSM have 'sploded views and R/R procedures.
