'48 Panhead - removing jammed cable coil from handlebars

[harleygreg]

Hi - I'm replacing the vinyl coils for the throttle and timing with their period equivalents and am having a lot of difficulty in removing the timing coil cover from the handlebar. I've removed the screws attaching the horn button and dip switch and cut the coil near the handlebar exit hole to give more force on the cable but the 'disc' attached to the cable end is firmly stuck in the handlebar - any ideas?

Thanks

Greg

There is a set screw that holds it in place that has nothing to do with the switch screws'

Thanks Richo - I should've looked under the horn switch cover!!!
