I just took mine apart under the cab. It was a pain to put back together but taking it off wasnt bad.

so the cable from the front just pushes back on the connector to where the larger hole is to get it disconnected from rear cable....

I put tons on pb oil on it and nether side moves in at all, I thought maybe there is some type of locking clip on that connector that has to be released first, but I couldn't figure it out.

I just took my grinder with cut off wheel and made a slice into the bracket so I can slide it off. Did the same thing on the extension bracket but made it smaller, bent it open to get the cable in then bent it back onto it.

Yea, being in the rust belt those usually seize up and won't release the cable ends.
