It's been awhile since the throttle cable has been disconnected.....the Haynes book is useless.....does anyone have a reasonable image to show how the throttle cable hooks up (it's a 1.8, if that matters)...some say barrel nut , but there never was one????

Is there a farily easy way to replace the cable itself? The Haynes manual just shows how to remove the end at the gas pedal, and then says to pull it out "from the rear". Could I 'tie' the new cable to the old one, so that when I pull it through the housing I will have 'threaded' the new cable in, leaving me to only have to fasten both ends on? (One at the pedal, and one end at the throttle.)
Also, I have to do some cleaning on the throttle body on my car- is there a way I can take the whole thing off and be able to re-use the main rubber gasket that surrounds the throttle body housing? |
