    Good afternoon. Two questions:
    How many emergency hand-brake cables does this model have? and where do they run between? Should I lubricate them? With which fluid?
    I have not had any problem with them but also that I have done 155,000 miles.
    Thank you.

    One cable goes from handle to rear diff. Then it splits and a cable runs left and runs right to each rear wheel.

    I use either a grease gun or spray on lithium grease. The lubricant doesn't matter as long as it is not an evaporative lubricant (don't use WD40).
