Car Interior Help
I recently purchased a new shift console plate, center gauge cluster, radio and center vents. While taking everything apart, I learned I need a new center console, It basically fell into pieces. My problem is, I'm removing the shift console plate and I'm stuck trying to get the heater control removed/separated. How do I remove this? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

It's a 76. The cable is the only things holding it to the car. I see there's a push down clip holding the cable on. Do I pop that off? I can't even figure out how to remove the heater control from the shift plate.

I don't know if this will help or not but I will pop in some old photos of my '68 so you can see what the thing looks like removed. I know my '68 is control is one year but there may be enough similarity to point you in the right direction. I am pretty sure you will want to disconnect the cables under the dash and leave them attached to the control during removal.

It’s been a while since I had mine apart, but IIRC there is a retainer that slides over the pin that the cable connects to. When I removed it I used some needle nose pliers and it came right off. Then pull down on the cable and it should pop off.
