Pull the cotter pin. Pulling the cotter pin is not hard. Well, maybe now 
that I have bifocals! gggg

With the pulley out of the way slightly the cable will drop past the 
guard fine.

The instructions say to remove the one pully at the center top of the toeboard (the one that is shared with the clutch cable) and thread the cable thru all the pullys then reinstall the one pully. But I can't figure out how to get the cable on the pully near the base of the steering column (the first pully after the parking brake handle).
