I'm having a problem getting the front drum brake sorted on my CG - it's almost as though the cable's too short? (it's not)
And i really need the bike sorted ASAP to get to work on!
Can't get the end of the brake cable (the threaded metal bar) through the hole (part 14) that holds it to the arm on the brake (or at least, not properly, as there's next to no "bar" left to put the nut onto).

The cable along with the metal bar end is part 7 on here: https://www.hondaoriginalparts.com/hpl/images_large/13KCHWU1/imge/F__0302.jpg

Just wondered what i was (probably) doing wrong, as it stands currently i can get the nut (part 15) only half on (and then gave it a try, and it pinged off as it wasn't secure enough!)

I have before this stripped the brake for cleaning etc, but i put it back in the marked position, so i don't want to jump to the conclusion i've put the brake arm on at the wrong orientation, but will strip again if there's nothing else i can check first.

pull 9. back and put the threaded bar through then push the bar up against the spring whilst tightening the nut ?

That's what i was trying to do and it just won't go on far enough.

maybe move 9. abit on the spline to give you abit more leverage

It's only designed to go on in the position its in (there's a cut-out to ensure it goes in the same position each time), but could probably force it down if i don't mind bending some metal. Will bear this in mind if i can't find an easier way of doing it.

is the cable all the way out ?

maybe disconnect it at the lever,screw the nut on then put it on the lever again and adjust it
