Replacing the clutch cable

Whats the best way of getting the end of the cable into the bit on the end of the pedal, do you need to take that bit off the end of the pedal fit the cable in and then bolt it back on, coz it's (i think) impossible do fit it whilst it is still attached or can you do it if you undo the actual pedal?

Please help i have barely any skin left on my fingers and i think i have brocken my back in about 7 places!!!

hi mate. take the pedal off. 13mm socket on the end ofa ratchet in your right hand and a normal spanner in your left. Lie unside down facing up into the steering wheel. put lft hand spanner on the bolt to the left and ratchet on nut on the right.undo and then withdraw the bolt going through the pedals an dthen you can pull and twist the pedal to get the cable off. when fitting the new cable, just put the end in the pedal first and then put the pedals all back on like normal(make sure you gt the spring back on) and then fit the pedal to the clutch arm bracket like normal. Easy peasy lol!

cheers mate, i did take the pedals off briefly but was worried about getting the spring back on as i couldn't see how it went back on, it's just so f#@?king awkward, i'll give it another go.

Take drivers seat out, if you have the correct torx, lay upside down and then you have reasonable access with socket and open ender without taking pedals off - done it twice once to replace bolt, so do this as well.
