What do you mean not working properly? Have you checked your fluid level? It can e fairly tough to replace the whole cable. You can buy a barrel from a bike shop to make a custom length cable.

But without the hex head on it. Just go to a good bike shop, tell them that you want to make a custom length cable but you can't remove the brake cable then go to a lever on a bike and point to the barrell in the lever and say, Do you have something like this with a set screw in it so I can move it up and down the cable?
