I have an evinrude starflite 1961 engine and my throttle cable is too short, so i took the throttle cable from another setup i have that is long enough and i am trying to switch the cables out, problem is i cant seem to get the old cable out of the mechanism to get the new one in... The mechanism is set up with teeth if that helps any, but i cant figure out how to get the cable that is to short out to switch it.. The only thing i can see that could be holding it in is what looks to be some kind of pop rivet at the end of the toothed housing for the cable, it is recessed on one side and flat on the other. Anybody know how this thing come off????

Thanks,
Trey
