How do I remove steering cable from ram?

I have this ram assembly:

Anyone know how the cable is supposed to disconnect from it? I removed the cotter pin and the large cable nut but it still won't pull out. Anything I am missing?

Thank you

I did mine a couple of years ago..think thats it..mine came right out..yours might be rusted inside ? don't think there is another bolt from what I remember, try turning the steering wheel one way against the stop and see if that pulls it loose.

Yeah, I think the cable is corroded to the support tube. Going to have to lube her up and see what happens.
