Note to readers :
Steve is fiddling with the clutch cable in his BX
Steve : there is an oval shaped sleeve with a guide-tube-hole for the cable. This sleeve is held against the firewall with a matching retainer ring, which in turn is fixed with 2 selfcutting screws. The screws have retaining clips not to fall out during assembly work.
The guide-tube-hole is pointing downwards som 60degrees from level. It should be possible to "hit" the hole with the new cable from below. But you must figure out a way to keep up the cable in the tube, as it will fall out again as soon as you let go.
I remember this job as a pain in my neck, shoulders and spine, as the eye on end of the cable is very entertaining to make catch over the hook on the clutch pedal arm top end. And thats the easy variant on LHD vehicles
At least its not the Xantia setup where you also need to locate a bolt in that same insane work area
