I was cleaning up the pedal cluster area and I knocked off the accelerator cable socket. I pushed it back on, but heard no snap. Soon as I touched the cable again the socket came off the ball. I've only been able to press the socket onto the ball with my fingers. Is the socket supposed to have a liner inside ? Any tricks to keep this on ?

There is a plastic/nylon insert. I think it's white-ish. There should be a good firm snap when it seats.
I've never had any plastic liner in that ball socket you have pictured. I have always just dabbed some lithium white grease in that socket when I changed out the cable.
Yeah, look to see if the snap ring is missing.
Last time I tried to put mine back on I had the exact same issue.
Turns out it was just packed full of crap (picked up from the tunnel from fumbling it a bit) and wasnt seating all the way down.
I cleaned it out and it was normal again.
Oops, sorry. I must be confusing it with something else. I haven't been right since taking a break
OK, the snap ring is partially intact, Bruce Store is sending a replacement, thanks Bruce
Two new issues have arisen:
1. I released the throttle body end so I would have some slack up front. When I reattached the cable through the barrel bolt ( throttle body end) there was less wire than when I started. Where the cable used to stick out an inch passed the barrel bolt, now it.s just long enough to make a connection.
2. Next, I thought that the socket end of the cable could give me a little slack. There is a nut behind the threaded socket. Can't loosen it....tight as he'll.
Lastly, I'm pretty sure the cable isn't wrapped, the accelerator is pretty smooth. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
