If you want everything original then this is needed.
Most of the time I find the cable coiled up underneath the dash because the replacement carburetor doesn't have the needed hardware.

Have you tried to thread the cable through a deep well socket, slide the socket down onto the nut and turn the socket by hand?

I like the socket idea. Even if I can’t turn the socket by hand, it might give enough set back from the dash to get a wrench on it.

It “feels” like it’s pretty tight quarters behind the dash with some of the adjacent stuff. That might be the only snag with that plan but I’m sure as heck gonna try it.
