Replacing my engine control.

Hello!
So like mentionned in another post I started my maintenance this weekend.
On the list was to replace my 2 engine controls (mechanical single lever, dual action, one lower helm, one on flybridge) by 2 Seastar 7600 levers that I bought.
I have unscrewed my flybridge lever and looked at remove it. My stupid mind was expecting to get enough cable loose to be able to pull up the lever assembly, disconnect the cables and remove it.
I found out that I am foolish and there is not enough cable loose.
So my question here.
I guess that I need to disconnect the cable from the part below that receive cables from flybridge and lower helm (don't know how to name it, like a cable switch with the two pair connected), than disconnect the old flybridge lever, connect the new one, and reconnect the cable down under.
Am I correct or totally lost?

Thank you!

L.
