Default Replacing Parking (E-Brake) Cable?

Hey folks,
I was under the JK the other day, and noticed that my passenger-side parking brake cable has been rubbing on the spring perch for quite some time. It looks like it is about to wear through, so I've decided it's time to replace the cable.
Is there a how-to anywhere that I'm missing with my searches? I'm hoping this isn't a huge job...the cable are not expensive.
Can someone point me to a DIY thread that I'm possibly missing, or give me a short-n-dirty step-by-step?

Thanks!

There is probably a write up somewhere. I can tell you it's not a terribly difficult job at all. Yank the center console and you have access to the parking brake side of the cables. Everything else is exposed under the jeep and it's just a straight swap.
