I need a good pic of the rear e- brake cable to brake shoe lever or how it hooks to the lever

pretty grainy shot from FSM but thought it may help. This shot is for 10-inch rear drums.

how does the cable hook into the groove ? just between the ball and spring?

Yes. Just pull the spring away from the ball end and voila!

what tool did you use to pull the spring back?
