Guys:
I'm trying to remove the old clutch cable in order to put in my new Terry cable and I'll be damned if I can get the pin out (this is inside the car, in the front) and I'm trying to disconnect it. The nut is backed off and the clip is pulled back, but I can't get the pin out. There isn't a whole lot of room to work, but even when/if I get something to push on the pin, it won't budge. Will it only come out one way? Is there a trick that I'm missing here? Can I get the cable replaced without removing the other cover plate and the console? Any help is appreciated!! Thanks, Andy.. |

Thanks a lot guys for the responses.
Taking a quick lunch break from work to check in... I think I can see what I need to do, as far as getting the pin out. It's just that there's not a lot of room to work (yeah, I know... it's a 914!). Good point about a groove being worn in the pin. I think that's what's going on, because I got my right angle pick on the end of the pin and gave it a good push, but it didn't budge. Also, with the car up on jack stands, I'm a little worried when I'm laying in the car trying to contort myself to squeeze in there, that it'll come crashing down (I'm in the middle of a clutch change and I'm replacing the cable as well). Anyway, it may be a coupla days before I can get any quality 914 time, but I'll give it another try later. Thanks again, Andy... |
