Am I doing something wrong????

Changing the brake shoes on the Disco and I unhooked the cable from the shoe end that connects to the offside shoe. Can I get the bugger back on?!?!?!? Tried all sorts, but the spring that you have to pull back in order to get the cable into the end of the brake lever is really REALLY tight! I've tried everything to pull the spring back, but its really taught & I can't get it back enough to expose enough cable to slot it in.

Anyone got any tips or is there a special knack to do it???
 
Thanks jamesmartin, but the shoe isn't on yet, I've tried it with shoe on, shoe off...... its the spring on the cable its soooooo tight, I can pull it back about 1cm but that's it. It won't pull back enough for it to clear the small gap that where the end of the cable (ball) fits in the lever????
