Default Need help!

How do we disconnect this cable from the intake? I have the intake completely loose and ready to pull off but I can't figure out how to unclasp this cable off that bracket coming off the intake.

Anyone? There's a bolt holding a bracket to it but i can't figure out what size it is and a book we have shows that there should be a big hole to move the cable over to but i can't see that in ours.

Is your car an auto-tranny?
Looking at the parts book, it appears that the clevis has to unscrew from the end of the cable, to pull the cable out of the bracket....Can't tell exactly where the bracket is from your photo...Can you pull back a bit to see more of the manifold/firewall?
It also appears that the entire support bracket has to be removed, and appears to attach in three different locations on the firewall...(I am only going by the parts manual drawing)....

Thanks Mr Barry for the response. Yeah its an Auto-Tranny. I did't look to see if there is a Clevis on the cable its so greasey its hard to tell anything. The bracket i am having trouble with is the one were you see the cable going thru, that bracket is mounted to the intake so i can't pull the intake off without getting the cable off.
Also we only found one spot were the support bracket mounts to the firewall, we got that off its just the cable thats holding us up now.

According to the parts manual, the clevis on the end of the cable, is a separate part, and unscrews from the cable end.

Finally got the stupid thing off. After we got it off by taking the bolt loose which was a pain, we saw that the cable comes loose by moving it to the side of the bracket
