i had my buddy push the cable trough the firewall down to the quadrent. its kinda tricky but as soon as its on the quadrent i had him pull on the cable to keep it it place.

You probably bent the post that the upper pawl was on, while trying to pry it off...like I did. I had the same issue, and after 15 minutes, grabbed that upper pawl post with a wrench, and bent it down an unnoticeable amount. Then the quadrant slid right on.
Actually, I don't remember if I used a wrench or pryed the post straight with my tire iron. One of the two.

It releases from the fork VERY easy... Just remove the cover and unhook it... No big deal...
I'd recommend a firewall adjust and new cable (if yours is stock) while you're at it.
