Am I missing something obvious?

Just adjusted the selector for the transfer box, and started putting everything back together. Now maybe I'm being stupid and there's something obvious staring me in the face that I'm not seeing, but how do I reconnect the handbrake cable? Where the pin was holding it in place when I removed it, I now can't get it in because of the mechanism for the button being in the way.

Speedy hints would be appreciated as my car is in bits out in the dark ;)

Cheers
Matt

haha ive done that,what has happened is the ratchet mech has gone over centre,need to get it to go back round or go over itself & the cable will go in the hole

narked:
Hmm, managed that bit, now the ratchet mechanism doesn't want to work. Pull the handbrake up, no ratchet, press the button in and release handbrake, and the button remains depressed.

narked:
Guess I'll just have to try removing the cable again and see what I can do with it. Can't get the ratchet working properly, used some WD40 on it to see if that eases it up, and it's not doing owt :/

narked:
Done! Found a thread over on the lr4x4 forums that mentioned the rod inside the handle getting bent and therefore sticking. Pulled the button out, straightened it somewhat, and hey presto, worky worky!
