Accelerator Cable Replacement

Approx. time: 10min (15min max)

Skill level: EASY
Tools needed: 14mm open end wrench & 10mm socket w/ short extension.


Step one:
If your cable looks like this... CHANGE IT! You can go awhile without changing it; but the burs/strands could get caught up within the cable sheath.

Step two:
Remove the cable at the rocker by rolling it back to give you slack.

There are nuts that hold the cable in place and can be loosened with a 14mm open end wrench. Not shown but you can see the last pic in this post.

Step three:
Use your 10mm socket to remove the part of the accelerator cable bolts from the firewall.

Thanks buddies!

I encourage everyone to do a write up, no matter the simplicity. I wasn't sure how complicated this was going to be as I had never done this before and it turned out super easy.
