How do you remove the accelerator cable or disconnect it from the throttle body intake/butterfly area?

On my '88 there's a small round clip on the inside of the throttle lever; just carefully pry it open a bit and slide if off the throttle lever.

I figured that may be one, but there's another couple of attachments. I dont see any way to take them off without the guess and pull test and with me, thats gonna break somethin.....

They all come off the same way. Round clips with a hole in the center, theres a tab over top of the hole that holds the cable in place. Lift the tab and remove.
