If you have Merriman steering

simialr to what is shown in the image below, it's a simle matter to loosen the steering cables. The two steering cables wind around each quadrant and then are brought forward and terminate in two locknuts. Just loosen the locknuts and you'll be able to adjust cable tension easily.
