Emergency brake cable, 8 3/4, does anyone reproduce?

I'm about to do the same process, my 7.25 is laying under the car and with only the e-brake cables still attached.

I will take the drums off to expose the brake parts so I can remove the cables for reuse.

One question though, how do I remove the cables where they connect to the front cable on the frame. I see there are some retaining clips on the frame mount, do I remove those and pull the cables through?
