Removing clutch cable, How do you get the pin out (inside car) Options

[914zim]

Guys:
I'm trying to remove the old clutch cable in order to put in my new Terry cable and I'll be damned if I can get the pin out (this is inside the car, in the front) and I'm trying to disconnect it.
The nut is backed off and the clip is pulled back, but I can't get the pin out. There isn't a whole lot of room to work, but even when/if I get something to push on the pin, it won't budge. Will it only come out one way? Is there a trick that I'm missing here?
Can I get the cable replaced without removing the other cover plate and the console?
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks,
Andy..

If you loosen the rear of the cable first, if not broken, the pedal will flop forward. You can see the clevis through a small opening behind the accelerator pedal after the floor board is removed. As noted, use a small scew driver to pop it loose and it will pull out one side. Install is just the opposite. When I work on the race car I fill the floor with lots of pillows to lay on from the passenger side since I have an aluminum race seat and roll cage so it is really ahrd to get in from the driver's side. I'd recommend getting a spare clevis as the clip part can break off if it is old. Good luck.
