How do you remove the Ebrake cable

I am replacing one of my rear calipers, and can't seem to figure out the right way to remove the ebrake cable. I know that I can remove the 2 bolts that hold the bracket in place, but I have already messed one of the bolt heads up, so I would have to cut the bolt to get the bracket off.
It looks like I should be able to remove the U shaped clip and the cable should slide through the hole, but I don't think that the hole is big enough for the cable to slide through.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Why you did not try this already? It's made that way for a reason.

It will go if there is enough slack in the cable,

Replace the damage bolt, grab the cable tightly with some needle nose vice grips, the pull the cable forward up or down and it will fit through. I can't remember which but try this I remember it was a little tricky. Watch the clearance as you move it and you will figure it out.
