Fir others about to attempt this:Ive done a few and found it easier to bend the metal bit that fouls the pedal bolt. Saves cutting then.Still a pig to get to without pulling out the drivers seat (10mins).Overall job much easier with two people.Make sure you get the RIGHT replacement cable too!

i agree with that, first time i did one i really struggled, then found it was the wrong cable. made me swear it didMonkeyfeet wrote:Fir others about to attempt this:Ive done a few and found it easier to bend the metal bit that fouls the pedal bolt.

does get easier after the first time, i now use a dab of grease on the new plastic clip and work the pin a little to loosen it before fitting, i dont take the seat out and the last one took about 40mins (first one 2 hours +, then wrong cable)
