Hand strength < squeeze linear pull brakes to install wheel

Arthritis is affecting my hands.

I'm able to do most things, but removing/installing a wheel is a problem, because I can't squeeze the brakes enough to disengage/re-engage the noodle.

I even tried a big zip tie, but I couldn't pull it hard enough to make it work.

Ideas anyone? I may have to buy a tool, maybe a large c-clamp? Not sure I could squeeze 4-5" channel locks.
