Mine was rusted together, no solution.

that sucks. mine's hardly rusted, but it seems damn frozen. is it "supposed" to be pulled out w/ a pair of pliers or something?

Maybe loosen the brake cables under the car first. It might relieve some tension thats on it. Adjustments are by the blower motors just foward of the rear wheel.

Remove the cable from this end.

I used WD 40 and let it sit for awhile.
I then used hammers pliers etc.. to get the pin to loosen up, so I could pull it out.

a hammer and a phillips screwdriver with a head small enough, or any pin pusher. Give it a few wacks, should pop out.
