I can see the little butterfly clip on the inside of the frame, removed those. Now how exactly does the cable all come out. is it one peice?
From the rear axle? It should pull out, but there is a "clip" on the inside under the drums with a bunch of different "fingers" spread out, probably preventing you from doing so. My trick is to use a small hose clamp to pull them together, then pull the clip partway through, remove the hose clamp, and pull the cable all the way out.
