How to replace parking brake cable?

It seems that the nub on the end of the parking brake cable has snapped off, and needs replacing. I have obtained the part, but cannot seem to figure out how to get the nub (not the right term, but I'm not sure what to call it. Small cylinder on end of cable that locks it in?!?) onto the actual parking brake lever. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!1

This is going to be hard to describe... The lever that it attaches to will allow the cable to fit through it, but as soon as you release the pressure (the nub) should slide down on it and stay in place.
