Default Rear passenger side brake cable removal

Guys any tips on how to remove the steel sleeve on the pass side rear brake cable? I' be trie twisting, tapping on it from inside the aluminum hub carrier, but to no avail. Am I missing something? Thanks.

pin and the 'swan' stamping removed? I don't remember them being a tight fit...kinda loose actually. any option just to leave it and disconnect the torsion bar end?

heat would fubar the cable liner. I would try cooling the steel end...can-o-air from staples, ice cubes or dry ice (don't burn yourself).

maybe something acidic would eat the dissimilar metal corrosion...lemon juice or vinegar

I've addressed this in the past by cutting the cable, then driving the steel end of the Bowden with the right size punch. Heat no doubt helps. Good luck!

Well, I had success..I was able to get the cable fitting to come loose from the guide tube, and was able to push the clevis end up through the guide tube and remove the cable intact. I was then able to pull the complete torsion bar assembly from under the car for more extensive cleaning...Thanks for the tips, guys.
