I've just done this with a Tseries and KE70 handbrake cables. It should work in your situation as well.

under the car there is 4 cable mounting points, 2 each side.

Leave the rear 2 in place, undo the front 2 (10mm bolt with a c clip thing) don't reuse the C clip thing. Put the cable back in place and use the 10mm to hold the cble in the mount.

Really needs a pic

When you undo the middle mount the cables should want to pull forward and you'll see what i mean. The handbrake will function correctly using this method, even though it may look a little suss.
