Thanks. Squeezing the arms on that black box was the trick. Now it's a
matter of squeezing the grommets so the cable with go back thru the
firewall. The box will clear the firewall hole.

Steve,
I don't know if the year makes a difference, but you can remove the throttle
cables with out any problems (at least on the 75s). The carb side, there
is a ball and socket.
1. Simply pull the socket (the accelerator cable) from the ball (attached to
the carb). You may find that using a screwdriver to pry it off works
well.
2. There is a mounting bracket on the rear of the motor. The accelerator
cable has a square plastic part that slids into and clamps into the
mounting
bracket. Simply press the front tits of the accelerator cable clip and
push back through the metal support bracket.
3. On the gas pedal the cable has a not at the end of the cable which holds
a clip into the accelerator pedal. Simply pull the cable back some into
the cockpit and lift it out of the slot in the pedal assembly.
