Two years ago I picked up a cheap Simplex levers described as having a stuck cable end.The PO had mangled the cable before breaking it off just enough to make access to the end itself impossible. I tried punching it out then drilling it out. No go. Didn't try heat lest it melt off the plastic coating on the lever. I gave up.
