no he's talking about the plastic tab that holes the cable sheath into the tb. Its a simple pinch clamp, but getting it to go through is damn near impossible. Mine is broken, but it stays in place just fine. worst case, one side of the tabs will break and it should be easy to remove at that point.

Yes... the plastic tab... the cable sheath...

Takes me ~15 minutes of patient finaggling. I insert a flathead screwdriver underneath the lower tab, pressing up while with another flathead screwdriver pressing down on the top tap simultaneously working the part up and down while trying to press it out without breaking it. Works.

I'm going to take an ibuprofen just for typing that.
