Default Removing throttle Cable from TB

How do you remove the throttle cable from the throttle body? I do not want to end up breaking any retainers. This is on a 2000 GMC Jimmy. I am sure it is very simple but I have not worked on the 2nd gen engine and I do not want to inadvertently break anything by pushing or pulling or not releasing a retainer.

Thanks

Pull cable forward and slide it sideways out of the slot it's in, 2 seconds top's!

Manually open the throttle to put slack in the cable. At the end of the cable is a retainer that slides out of the throttle linkage.

ive done intakes on s10s where that cable connection is very difficult to get off, if thats what your youre doing and you still cant manage to get it off, just unbolt the throttle body and put it to the side
