P b blast the cable ajuster of course.. loosen to remove cables from main cable,and the joiner..Once the 2 old cables are removed from the ajuster you will have plenty of slack to work with..if heavily rusted,, holed up in air and let pb blaster do its work,,use a large screwdriver to lever the spring back . You need a large chain cutter to cut the cable.....a pair of large vise grips is best to pull on the cable ferule to pull it forward & to the side to remove,you should not have to cut the cable,this is not that difficult just eyeball first,if you have a lot of difficulty compress the spring by= tie with wire,or compress with screw,nut and washers , the last is mainly for 88 models ..ps a vise grip and wrench work best for the equalizer ajustment,if you use 2 wrenches one will be falling often..Haynes has best section on e brake cables
