Dis-connecting throttle cable????

[Giggz]

Can not figure out how to dis-connect throttle cable from pedal?

And how does it dis-connect from the throttle body too.

Tried twisting the plastic attachment but it wont budge!

edit: got it off the throttle body and pedal!!!! cant get the cable through the bulkhead...there is a clip in the drivers footwell but space is so limited u cnt get a pair of pliers down there, let alone your hand!!!! any suggestions?

mr.haynes suggests taking the cable through the bulkhead from the engine compartment but this doesn't seem possible

This is a real bitch of a job, try breaking the plastic clip from the engine bay. You should have just enough clearance to get someone to hold in the pins with 2 screw drivers while you pull it out if you want to do it the proper way.

I remember much swearing and tool throwing when I changed my throttle cable. Just percivere, it will come out.

HAHA!

We did it!

Broke the blooming clip like you said Adam...gave it a good stepping on and spitting on when i had it on the floor.

Cable went through like a dream and now with the BBTB in as well and a couple of new breather hoses replaced the car seems to be idling very sweet.

The only thing is that the accelerator pedal was very stiff before.Now all you need is a feather to depress it.Wil take some getting used to.

Job done lads...and ladettes!
