Default Re: Rear parking brake lever

As far as I know, all you need to do is lay the cable into the little trough at the bottom of the lever. The spring at the end of the cable holds it in place in the trough. There's no need to crimp. Nor should there be a need to pry apart the tongs of the trough when removing the parking brake cable. Just use a brake adjusting tool to push on that spring to release the tension against the lever and pull the cable out of the trough.
If your spring is gone off the cable, that's a problem.
