Ed,
You'll have to remove the plastic fender liner to gain further access. It's been awhile since I replaced the cable on mine. I think I may have also used a vise-grip to pull the cable sheathing through.

The easiest way to remove the cable is to un hook the inner cable and then take a hose clamp and put it over the spring finger on the end of the housing until it bottoms out then tighten the clamp enough to push the housing through the hole in the floor. You then have to do the same thing on the frame
Theother way is to take a boxed end wrench and put that over it while pushing the housing through the floor
