On choke cables just got to slide them up the cable from the back and cram your hand in there, kind of turn or flick at them with whatever part of a finger you can get near there. some are easy to reach, some are hardly accessable. The best deal is if you can take the front part off and slip it in from the bach with the nut on, then thread it on the front. Last one I did I used a modern replacement cable (NAPA) and had to cut/break/grind the crappy looking **** off (it was not threaded-press fit..) I threaded the metal and put an "old looking" **** on there.

The orginal cables in my 51F1 were all rusted and I couldn't get the nuts off either. I just pulled the cable out of the housing and drilled out the center to release the front flange. I drilled the hole stepping up drill sizes till the flange came loose so as not to make it too big and damage the dash.
Hope this helps
