emergency brake problem

i have a 93 4x4 ranger and the e-brake doesn't work. i pulled the wheels and drums to check things out and the shoes were shot. i replaced everything and the brakes work great but still no e-brake. i unbolted the mechanism in the front where you set and release. when you set and release it there is no movement in the cable. i tried disconnecting the cable to get a better look at this thing but couldn't figure out how to disconnect it.
if anyone has had experience with this id appreciate help. i'm stumped right now.

If the vehicle is from cold country with salted roads, could be a rusted cable assy. Maybe soak it down with rust buster, let it soak, then pull on the wheel end to see if you can break it loose. If so it may work & last long enough to find a new replacement.
