ABSTRACT:
A parking brake assembly for a motor vehicle includes a lever acting against a brake shoe to urge the brake shoe into contact with a brake drum. The parking brake assembly includes a clasp pivotally mounted to the lever. The clasp includes a plate portion having a slot therein. The clasp pivots to accommodate blind assembly of the cable strand to the lever. Retention to the cable is accomplished by pivoting the clasp upward and out of the way while a bullet staked at one end of the cable strand passes through the slot. The clasp drops about the cable strand and a tensile force applied to the cable strand causes the bullet to engage the plate portion of the clasp to couple the cable strand to the lever.
