do what jm4 said, but while holding the spring tight up against the cap, turn it upside down and jiggle it around, that brass looking retainer plate thingy should drop out of there , push the cable inward and it should pop out, you dont hav'ta undo the 2 little screws and that retainer unless you need to get to the needle for adjustment, and watch for the 2 little plastic washers in there if ya go that far, 1 on each side of the clip
