Default Parking Brake Release Button

My parking brake release button shot out the other day. How do you put it back in i have both the button with rod and the spring? How do you take apart the lever?

That happened to me once. That metal clip thing that wraps around the top of the handle holds it in there. I used a screw driver to spread the clip apart a bit then took a cotton towel and wrapped it around the clip and placed some pliers around it, then popped everything back in there and pressed the clip back together.
