Thought I?d ask first on how to remove the cable from the housing before I start pulling/pushing/banging. Does it just slide right out from the nut side on the left?

I replaced mine about a year ago. had trouble removing old cable. did not seem to have enough room to remove the steering rod. I just cut it. problem solved.

Thanks for that, but does the cable slide out from the "nut" side?

Okay, I answered my own question. The cable does slide out from the nut side by turning the steering wheel to the left which will extract most of the the cable end, then it's just a matter of sliding the rest out. .

That's a common corrosion point, inside that tube,....
