I'm planning on replacing my throttle cable this weekend with a Terry cable. I was going to do this a while ago but I couldnt get the original cable loose from where it comes out of the firewall so I just let it be. Now I'm ready to try again. Any tips or tricks to getting the cable loose from the firewall? I was thinking of splitting the cable's metal cap with a dremel and prying it apart but I don't want to damage the underlying tube. Also, is it true that I have to remove the center console to change the TC? I'm looking for any help and encouragement I can get because right now the car runs great and I don't want to do anything to it that might cause me to f**k something up and render the car inop. especially with the number of driving days left this year dwindling fast.

Mine was a piece of cake. Unhook from the pedal, and give it a good tug from the rear. Putting it in was a piece of cake too, just slid in from the back and picked it up by the pedal. A few screws later and I was on the road with a working accelerator pedal. Which was nice because I was starting to get some strange looks as to why my shoes didn't have shoe laces. That and it’s a lot easier to shift when one of your hands isn't occupied with the "throttle lace." Over all job, including re-lacing my shoes probably took about 30 min.
