Default Choke/Enricher Cable Installation Question

I broke the threaded plastic mount for the choke/enricher cable at the adjustment **** on my 2005 (carb) Sporty. I bought a replacement cable, but cannot figure out how remove the old cable where it screws into the carb. It looks like a plastic nut that holds the cable to the carb, but I can't get a wrench on it due to tight clearance. Any suggestions on how to best remove the old cable from the carb and install the new cable?

Remove the carb from the rubber intake boot. You need to remove the air cleaner first to get to the carb support bracket. You shouldn't need to remove the throttle cables, iirc.

Yeah, you're going to need to pull the carb. It's a pretty easy job to replace the enricher cable.
