   On a disk brake?
   The end of the cable passes through the arm part.
   Just along from that it sits in a hollow, the end of the coverd part has like a ribbed ferral on it. This is the part that gets stuck, you need to use a hammer and drift to knock it out.
   It can take a fair amount of persuading.
   If you have a new cable in front of you, you will understand.
   When refitting smear the ferral with copper slip.

   a drift is like a flat ended punch is usually made of brass so you dont bend stuff when you hit it hope this helps
