How to remove the handbrake cable in 5 seconds... and not by cutting 
After you have removed the brake shoes, bring the end of the brake cable out and slide a 12 mm ring spanner over and push to close the prongs. Cable then slips out of brake base and the 12mm ring spanner falls off. Simple. :woohoo:
Pic of the removed handbrake cable showing how the 12mm ring spanner slips up and closes the prongs for easy removal.
Well, it may not be a world-shattering idea, but it works quickly and simply and I am proud of having discovered it myself, even if every mechanic in the world might have known about it already

Nice work. Seems quicker and easier than the jubilee or zip tie methods I have used.
