Title: 1993 Espace Clutch Cable fitting
Post by: THERACEFACE on February 07, 2007, 05:14:05 pm

The clutch cable on my 1993 espace has just broken. My local dealer have supplied a new cable but it's too big to thread through the bulkhead to reach the pedal.

From the interior/pedal side it's all very difficult to get to but looks like there's quite a narrow fixed metal sleeve that isn't removable and is too narrow for teh new cable nipple to pass through. Is it removable if I use more force?:

From the engine bay it's also very hard to get to the hole, but it looks like this:

Is what I've pictured removed to fit the new cable? I can't get it out if it is!

Yes, I think that piece that's sitting in the hole belongs to the cable and should be removed as there's one on the new cable :)

 :) Ok Anders, I'll try and remove it tomorrow evening with a bit more force. Thank you!
