Main harness loop over steering column

Got a question for you experts.

I'm fabricating a sheet metal dash and a total rewire of my turbo -se and need to remove one of the main harness bundles that goes over the steering column and is sandwiched by a brace which bolts to the firewall.

The said brace looks like it's connected to the pedal cluster and I have no beef with the brace or any of the crap that's connected to it, only the wiring that's pinched by it.

So question is, what's the most painless way to maneuver that part of the harness out?

well if I want to see that all I have to do is go out in the garage! Only 3/4 of that is gone in mine

So basically the black thing under the blue thing has to come down... that's what I was afraid of...
