I thought I had some of the new cable after installation, but I don't. The easiest way to remove the old cable at the frame is to break off the little spring fingers.

Hope that helps!

How do you hold down all those clips at the same time to get it out of the hole in the frame?

Use a small hose clamp to compress the fingers when removing . :chevy:

Great! I was also thinking of sliding a nut that is just the right size over it.
