2G Shifter cable brackets?

Can anyone explain to me how to remove these two brackets. And also the two brackets on the transmission also.

Use a pair of pliers or vice grips and grab the top and pull. Somtimes u have to loosen by prying/pushing on one side with a pry bar or flat head. Get it to move back and forth then it should pull up easy. You can even wedge a flat head between the cable and bracket clip and pop it off that way too.

Yea vise grips or channel locks are the best way. They are stubborn if they have not been out in a while. Just wiggle back and forth and pull up.

I'm sorry. I always have to clarify before I try but I am prying on the golden pieces right?

Nvm I got it. Thanks guys!

Okay so a bunch of cussing and b****ing later, I got the brackets off my cables. Now my next problem is the grommet that is running them through the firewall. How do I pull it out?

From the inside, two bolts. Take the center console out and the driver side console side plastic. Should be able to pull it through from under the hood once it's loose.

Thank you. I didn't know it was bolted I will get to that!

And good luck. I'm hoping the shift fork isn't broken. Takes a lot to pull a cable apart.

Yah what I'm hoping is that when I yanked it outta gear that the cable gave before the following parts did. Which I think is how it went because the ends on the transmission where screwed. I pulled the rubber sleeve down and some of the cable dismantled itself and was hanging halfway off

I just pulled mine out. I pushed mine through from the engine bay until they would not get snagged on anything and then I just pulled them through. You can get the 2 bolts from the driver's side with a short socket and wrench. Its tight but doable (I'm 6'1). Not to bad once you can see everything. Take a flashlight with you. Took me about 40 min.
