Help! ~ Fixing E-Brake

Attached is a picture under my console. I have already replaced the broken cable. I've already replaced the bracket under the car & attached the 2 long cables to it. I just need to know how this short cable attaches up top. The cable I'm holding is the short cable. It appears that it needs to wrap around that silver piece (it had marks from old cable). Only problem is, I can't get it around it. It doesn't seem to be near long enough. Can anyone help?

Okay, I just realized that the whole round silver thing has to be turned, then the cable connected, so it has tension from the spring.

New problem: how does the end of the cable sit in the groove of the round silver thing? When I turn the thing & put the cable through the groove on the outside, the end of the cable hits the braket holding the silver thing on once the spring pulls on it. Does anyone have a pic of one already connected?


BTW, thanks for the tip Chris. I put the car up on ramps to get that other stuff done .... and now I've taken it off the ramps. I really don't wanna go back & do that, but it looks like I may have to. Even if I end up doing it that way ... I need to know how the short cable connects to the inside.

Just a picture of one already assembled properly would be worth a million.


Anyone?
