Stuck/frozen throttle/choke cable

I have a 2015 XT1 with a 18HP Kohler engine. My throttle cable was frozen in our cold Upper Peninsula weather so I forced it and now the handle on the dash moves freely but the cable does respond where it meets the engine. I removed the screws from the dash and popped the steering wheel off but i am having trouble getting the dash removed due to the filling spout of the gas tank being in the way. I may be able to force it but don't want the plastic dash to crack. I'm wondering if the throttle cable can be popped out of the dash without taking the whole thing apart? It looks like it could be pried out with a flat head screw driver but again, that plastic face plate looks awfully prone to cracking. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
