They're the rascels at the very tip of the guy's finger. You loosten them so you can slide the cable shields out of the bracket. Then you twist the cable around so you can slide the barrel ends out of the throttle actuator or whatever that weird pulley like thingamajig-bob is called.
 
I strongly discourage using an ezy-out in this application. If it wouldn't respond to an impact driver the odds of breaking off the ezy-out, are too high for a novice in my opinion.

There are those no doubt who will not agree.
 
I'm curious as to the need to remove that particular bracket. It's been a while since I took my carburetor out but I seem to recall that I was able to remove those cables without taking that off. If it can be done you will have a lot more success removing those screws if the carb is laying on a work bench than waving around like it is now.

Anybody know for sure?
