Could one tie a thin wire to the bad cable, pull it out to the rear at the firewall and then hook the wire to the new one and pull it forward back to the pedal assy?
I replaced my speedo cable using this procedure. Worked OK. Tom |

I replaced my speedo cable using this procedure. Worked OK. Tom Do not tie a string to the old cable. It can stick in the tube and then be difficult to remove. Disconnect at the pedal. Remove the fitting at the end of the cable. Pull the cable out from the engine compartment. Install in the reverse order. Push the cable into the tube at the firewall. Screw the fitting on the end of the cable. Connect it to the pedal linkage. Connect the other end of the throttle cable to the throttle body. Make sure the throttle closes fully. Adjust the pedal stop at the point where the throttle is fully open. This last step is important. If omitted, you can break the cable or pull the throttle cable out of the throttle body. Either scenario will leave you without throttle control. |
