Front brake cable removal / relocate (sub frame connector clearance issue)

I hate to start another thread on this, as I've searched the archives and still no answer..
I'm getting ready to install some sub frame connectors and found the parking brake cable is routed thru the cross member exactly where I need to mount the connector.

I've spent more time under the dash, under the car, climbing around trying to figure out how to re route it to make it work. I've read where others have simply moved the cable up a little higher. But I can't figure out how to get the cable free from the cross member. I have it disconnected at both ends, but where it goes thru the cross member it looks to be welded in place(?)

What do I need to do to move the cable up, into a new location?

Thanks
