    I'm going to take the kickdown cable off. The little arm that is held on by a nut moves when i turn in the cw direction to loosen the nut and was afraid to damage something internally. Is there a certain way to remove this?

    The nut turns ccw to remove it. You can hold the lever while turning the nut or just let it hit the internal stop.

    Why are you taking it off? Are you planning on running without it? (bad idea)

    I think we jammed a wrench between the trans (or frame) and lever to keep the lever from moving while we turned the nut.

    I cracked it loose easy enough, didn't seem overbearing to where anything could have been damaged. How did Earl know he had a problem? When it didn't operate properly? Or did it break and spin free?
