I installed a new accelerator cable after rolling over the old one and breaking it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) When installing the new one I broke it at the firewall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (cheaper construction that the old one). Seems like it would be an easy job but I've already proven that wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Is there a specific way to install this so I don't break the replacement?

I've done 2, both TerryCables and both with the rear end up high for good access. Did you unhook the pedal end ball socket? On my car I was too nervous due to nearby rust, and the trick was to thread the new cable in from the back, then screw it on, but out back the cable needed to be perfectly straight to deal with my twisting to screw it to the ball socket. On the other car, no rust, ball socket did pry off (and snap on) without incident, and the job was quicker and less painful. SEVERAL "racer" peeps reccomended the TerryCable and told me to take all the OEM plastic sheath out of the tunnel because the TerryCable doesn't need it. 6 months later it still works great. Very sturdy, teflon coated, cool sticker in the bag, and both I used fit perfectly. Make sure you are bending and threading to the top of the engine LAST after it is hooked up to the pedal.
