While I'm working on a Chevy I think the emergency brake cables are similar. For expedience in assembly the cables simply snap into place in the rear brake platter by spreading out 4 tangs to lock the cable in place. In practice they are a PITA to replace when worn or rusted. After struggling for a half hour on one side it came to me that if I could slide the right size cylinder over the cable and compress all 4 tangs at once. It came to me that a 1/4" fuel line hose clamp would do the job. It worked so well I slid it on and the whole platter fell on my toe. Every success requires some pain.
