The throttle cable shouldn't be hard to remove. You pull the throttle slightly open (by hand) and unclip the end. Once you have the end unclipped, you snap the cylinder on the end out from the clip holding it. The clip that was holding the cylinder on the end of the cable to the throttle actuator will come off the cable through a slit on the side if you pry it open slightly. Once this is done the cable with the cylinder can be threaded through the throttle actuator hole.

This still leaves the bracket. You slide the throttle adjuster screw out of the rubber grommet, then you pop the rubber grommet out from the bracket. Once the grommet is released from the bracket you can pull everything through the bracket hole, and the throttle cable is free to do as you please.
