You don't need to "smash" the clamp or any other part. You're installing the clamp wrong.. The cable housing end butts up against the "finger" part of the clamp.. That finger prevents the cable housing from sliding toward the clevis.. Any needed adjustment to the cable is accomplished at the other end of the cable under the truck at the "Y" where it connects to the intermediate cable.
If the cable housing wants to travel back and forth with the cable itself, something inside the housing is causing it to bind. Could be rust, could be damage to the housing.. When disconnected at each end, the cable should slide easily inside the housing. When everything is hooked up. The springs on the brake shoes should be strong enough to relax the cable..
