Don't cut them - if you pull by the wire most probably the wire will pull the potting, whatever it is, tar or epoxy, with it. Then you pull the second wire. This may just yank the whole gut with it. If it doesn't, you just push it out. If the wire does not pull easily (sometimes it happens) scoop out the epoxy or drill it out.
