I am replacing the front brake cable on a roadmaster womens mountain bike. I unscrewed the handbrake allen keys whenever I was attaching the cable to the lever, and the spring that allows the lever to go back and depress after squeezing popped out. I cant figure out how the spring goes inside the lever? I realize now I did not have to undo the levers allen screws to attach the cable, but I am culture the hardway. I have had no problems changing the cable except for getting the spring back onto the lever assembly right. I can not find any help with this issue anywhere. Can this be fixed or do I need to buy a new lever, if I need to buy a new lever are they all universal? Thanks

Brake levers are not always universal and yours must be repaired by a qualified Bike shop (NOT wal mart) . Your local shop may have a pair of levers that will work if they cant get it back together. Sorry but you wont find anything online for a bike like that , low end components such as what you have are not supported on the internet for the most part. A pair of levers such as these: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1032725_-1_400021_400002_400198 may solve your conundrum but unfortunately the cost of them as compared to the bike may be a bit much….
Take a look at the other one and see how it goes. You can disconnect the cable to get a better look but don’t take it apart like the other one.
