Anyone have any good insight on how to remove an accelerator cable that is binding upon removal? It is sticking about 10inches from the firewall. When it binds, I have to take a straight wire, and tap it to get it to move again. The same thing happens when trying to run it back in to the petals...a slight bind about 20 inches further in...but it clear with a slight tap. Have pulled on it to the point that I am afraid of destroying it in removal. It is a -6 cable, so would like to save.

Need to remove it, so I can get the engine compartment painted. Before I start taking banging and bending, thought I would check with those that have been before....

Thanks!

There was a very detailed thread on just that subject a few months ago.

my install technique was to rotate it as pushing it forward, so I would try the reverse if wanting to remove it. that is, rotate it while pulling rearwards. rotate the cable in the direction the twist of the cable, so as not to "unwind" the natural twist of the cable.

Doesn't anyone want to piss off Capt. Krusty and ask about using a piece of string pulled through the tunnel.
