Re: Help
Never dealt with an '88 but on my '87 truck there is a "spring clip" for lack or a better term.
IIRC, you will feel it around the base of the cable where it goes into the back of the dash. I think you pull the lip towards you and you should be able to then pull the cable/housing out. To put it back in you just push it in and the clip will snap back on.

Re: Help
yeah, it should be a spring clip...another way to get to it is to snake your hand up from under the dash....another one of GM's dumb ideas

Re: Help
this doesn't really help you but i was able to get it out on my '89 without any special tools (although unfortunately I can't remember how I did it). but the only reason I posted this was just to let you know that it can be removed w/o special tools...
