My old 2002 Dodge Ram with the 4.7l V8 has started to stumble lately. She ain't throwing a check engine light, but after doing a little research I suspected my throttle body might be dirty. Seeing as it had never been cleaned it turned out to be a good guess. I was all set to pull it out yesterday and clean it till I got to one of the linkage cables. The accelerator cable is a breeze to disconnect. The one just to the right of it, not so much. Attached is a picture of the 2 cables. I'm asking about the linkage just above the throttle return spring. I think I'm supposed to just pry it apart, but since it didn't just pop off I was afraid of breaking it.



Can someone chime in with how to get this linkage apart?
