Default Parking brake cable

Ok so I've tried searching the forum for any posts on it but didn't find any so here it goes:

Parking brake cable snapped, bought a new one, pulled out the old one. How do I feed the 4" rubber piece through the damn hole on the bottom of the floor? I know it's tapered on the top and should be pushed in from the bottom but it's super tight and there's hardly any room to work in. Any suggestions appreciated!

Ok well I decided to see how far I could get on this project myself today and found that it was pretty simple. First You need to remove the wheel to get to unscrew the plastic wheel wells. From there you will be able to see the hole that the rubber stopper will need to go into. I sprayed some PB on it to aide in installation. After I pushed the rubber piece thru, the next step was to route the cable into the parking brake. This was kind of a p.i.t.a but I managed to get it routed. After that, just bolt the brake into place with the 3 bolts and reinstall the brake line on the chassis.
