How hard is it to replace the clutch cable in a 172FF ?

[D1CKY]

I own a 172FF and away to replace the clutch cable pretty soon.

As its creaky/squeaky and going from a thread i posted on here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=4454972#post4454972 i think and have read the best solution is probably to replace it.

Next question is

How hard is it to replace the clutch cable and how do i go about it ? ?

Is it as easy as unhooking it at the pedal & gearbox end and pulling it through the bulkhead ?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Or if theres a guide to refer to even better

ive only ever done a 1.2 16v but the cable and route is similar iirc, i done it with the engine out which was really easy (as the engine was out anyway, i didnt take it out for the job lol) but i can imagine space will be your main problem, trying to get to it, but like i said ive never done on with the engine in, apart from that its pretty straight forward

I'd be interested in this too, mine could do with changing. Throttle cable too.

i did a clutch cable and pedal on a mk 1 1.4rt...twas a reet bast*rd.will be easier if it aint snapped though...just cable tie the end of the new 1 to the end of the old 1 and pull it! it will pull the new 1 through!

Is there any guides or anyting on here ?

Or is it straight forward ?

no idea if there is a guide, its easy enough, just remove the airbox for easier access, maybe take off the passenger wheel too
