Arrow How The Heck Do You....

How the heck do you reconnect the brake drum end of the E-Brake ?
There seems to be not enough play in the cable to be able to hook it.

I have used a pair of needle nose pliers. Push the tips through the spring on the end furthest away from the backing plate and compress the spring. Use the tips to grab the cable to hold the spring back while you hook the lever back up. Sometimes it's easier with 2 people.
