It usually helps if you have an extra hand or two to help - I found it easiest when the rear was somewhat free to move around, especially side-to-side (basically sitting on a jack getting ready to come out). That will help get some slack in the cable to help reduce some of the tension. Pull back on the spring and clamp it that way with some vice grips or something (I had some needle nose vice grips that worked great). That will help keep the spring out of the way, then you just start messing with it until you can get it off (by pulling on the lever, etc).
