How difficult are they to change. From underneath it looks like they are metal tubes from the tank forward.

The cables enter a metal tube for their final approach to the handbrake lever.
There's a ferrule that slips over the rear of the tube,and these rust to the tube.
Take care when releasing this ferrule,as heavy-handedness can lead to the tube parting company from the shell,a very difficult repair!
At the brake drum end,the cable inner is held by a roll pin,these like to drop out as the cable is detached,then roll off to hide in the darkest corner of your garage....
