How do you remove manual trim cable from elevator - RV-4

[RVFan671]

-4 built in 91. Pulling the tail off to add some reinforcements and I don't see how I can pull the trim cable out of the mount in the left elevator. Seems my only option is drilling out the 4 rivets but figured I'd check with the community first and potentially save myself some time/effort if there is another "right way".

Looks like you figured it out, drill the 4 pop rivets....

After drilling them out and loosening the bolt on the end of my trim control I couldn't get it out. The correct solution to my problem (and how I got it out) was to twist the entire housing which unthreaded it from that mount in the elevator. There was not enough room for that mount to come out of the elevator with a trim cable still attached to it.
