No big deal in replacing...unhook it from the throttle pedal...tape the new cable onto the old cable so it is easy to pull through from the engine bay. In the engine bay you have to remove the black plastic assembly clipping the cable to the throttle linkage.
If I remember correctly there may be a bolt holding things in place where the cable assembly runs through the bulkhead.
The new cable assembly will have the inner cable sheathed in a Mylar-type coating but I think it is worth spraying a bit of Silicone lubricant down into the new assembly first.
