Engine Cradle

Well come early Friday AM I am going to replace the engine cradle in my 85/SE. It appears that the battery caused the right side rail to rot out and lucky for me I noticed it before it broke apart. Have all the things I need in place and was wondering if someone had any idea of what time should be involved. It looks relativly easy, but this being the 1st time I've done this particular job ???? Have taken the entire exhaust off and will support the motor/tranny from the top. Any info would be appreciate. Maybe someone would like to give me a heads up on how to remove the e-brake cables?? Looks like they're not to easy to remove. Maybe a short cut or special tool to collapse the star ?? Thanks Rick
