Parking brake cable for 1971 Fury

[1970FuryConv]

I need to remove the cable guard fitting from the bracket at the subframe. I can’t figure out how the rear edge of the fitting for the guard at the bracket, can be retracted so it can be pulled through the bracket. I thought of using a small hose clamp to reduce the size, but thought I would ask the voices of experience.

Thanks for your help, Ben

I've always used any old pair of pliers if. it is accessible. Most of the time a flat blade screwdriver. Pull the cable to one side and push the lock, then the opposite side.

Is the lock against the bracket in this picture?

I think it is but, hard to tell with the gunk on it.
