Should i rip off the end of the cable or does the whole piece that had the retainin clip on it pull out?

The whole peice pulls out and sometimes they can get rusted in their pretty tight.

Soak it in lots of penetrant such as PB Blaster, grab the cable with some visegrips, turn it back and forth and then start trying to back it out while turning.

Clean up the cable and the hole in the caliper with some sandpaper before reinstalling, and smear it with some antiseize.

Does your state have safety inspections? If so, functioning parking brakes are usually a requirement to pass. Just FYI.

Remove the C clip, and tap it out using a flat head screwdriver and a light hammer, 16oz. should be enough.
