If there is any mud or debris on the nose (the part that sticks through the hole), brush or scrape it off. Spray the nose and area with a penetrant and slide a 9/16" box wrench over the "fingers" to hold them down. Wiggle the cable to make sure the fingers are sticking out as far as possible so that the wrench contains them completely up to the hole. Sometimes the wrench must be tapped on to make it slide up the fingers. Once the wrench is in place, (and held ) the cable can be removed.
