After I get it opened up, then what? Thanks in advance.

The method described in the following video works ALMOST.

One problem is that the cover shown at 5:15 in the video is not attached to the shifter body with a screw and that I cannot remove the cover. Therefore, I cannot insert the new cable into the hole going through the barrel adjuster.
I tried to remove the cover with a screw driver by pushing it in different directions, but it did not budge. I definitely need to know how to let the new cable go through the barrel adjuster.
