what happened to the cable ? did you try to lube it up before replacement ? I had success on an older model forcing light weight oil with PB blaster using a hose clamped on by the jet nozzle. Then disconnected the cable at the throttle attached to a drill and spun it slowly while pulling it in and out

What made the end brake off did the servo controller have enough power to snap it? It should be fairly simple to remove but keep us posted on what the complete process is . You should need some type of special tool to remove the nut on the thru hull connection . The floor / gas tank cover will need to be removed . Apply a heat gun to the Allen key bolts that hold the floor down to help break the loc title if they get tight while loosening turn them back in and then out they can snap.
