Parking brake cable removal

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out to detach the cable from the pedal assembly. The place where the cable attaches is so hidden by various plates, pawls and springs that there is no access. Also the whole assembly is put together with rivets so there's no easy way of taking it apart. Is there some trick to getting the cable out?

Also, I need to find out exactly where the cable goes through the floor pan. I'm in the process of fixing the rust on this MY2000 XLT 4x4 and the floor pan and rockers were so rusted that there was no evidence of where the cable went through the floor pan! I assume it's supposed to go through the channel right next to the inner rocker but where exactly? A simple measurement from the back edge of the A-pillar is all I need.

Thanks for looking!

I am not that familiar with the cable thru the floor, but if its a big PITA, I would make the floor in two pieces and work around the cable. Don't matter where it goes thru the floor, as long as it is sealed up well afterward.

Thanks Steve, it's a bit late for that unfortunately 'cos the floor's already welded.

Anyone got any advice on detaching the cable from the pedal assembly?
