How to Remove Throttle Cable '72 BBody?

[Dibbons]

I have been squeezing the plastic tabs from under the dash, but now I see some kind of metal wire wrapped around the inside of the clip that is preventing its removal. Hard to see what is going on there. Can any forum member relate to this dilemma? Thank you.

Should be a clip you pry up and then your cable will be able to come out.

The metal is there as a safety to keep the cable from popping out of the firewall. Straighten it out parallel with the tabs and slide it down and out. Now you can squeeze the tabs and push it out.

Thanks. Now I know something else needs removal. Still a little fuzzy how to bend it, straighten it, remove it, but I'll figure it out now. Nothing like light seen at the end of the tunnel!

It is normally bent kinda like a Z, just straighten it out so it slides out.
