As an update, this morning I was finally able to get it to pop. It appears the cable was still attached but had loosened up. I only just managed to get a finger around the cable that attaches to the lock barrel and pulled on it as I turned the key. Needless to say, my forearm isn't looking so flash right now. Now I have it open I'm going to see what adjustment is possible in there to tighten the mechanism back up.
