rear brakes

first off, HI, long time no talk.

Second, I'm in a bit of a bad situation. No brakes on and my truck is about to be towed. I took the rear shoes off and I'm trying to attach the spring thats attached to the shoe to the parking brake cable. I can not for the life of me get it to go in. I followed rangerbob's guide and can not get it. Any tips?


Third, This is the wrong forum perhaps so i donno?


kthnx!

I haven't touched the rear drums either. They're probably shot though.
