Off for the weekend and started to replace my throttle cable this morning.

I unhooked it from the pedal linkage but cannot see which way the cable should be removed - inside the cabin or out from the engine bay.

Also, the nipple at the other end - just remove the rubber grommet and pull it through?

Would appreciate a quick pointer so I can get this show on the road!

To release from the bulkhead there is a tab on the side which you need to push in with a long flatblade screwdriver.......or break it off if you are renewing it.
TB end just unscrew the winder(M20) and pull the gromet free,itll come out then.

Cheers big ears.

I squeezed the tabs with some pliers and it's all good.

I have an addition to this, so here it's explained how to remove the cable, but how do I fix it in then?TB part first, and then push the little hook inside the cabin. And what about the plastic part which "glues" to the bulkhead, how do I mount it to the bulkhead?
