My throttle cable was acting up and sticking alot so i decided to replace it with a new one. As I was pulling the cable out from the front( it was quite stiff to pull any), it pulled out prob. 1-2 ft, then it just stopped completely. Now i can't get it to move another inch Any advice on what could be stopping it? any way to free it up? or what should I do now? |

Its probably hung on the bowden tube. Get under the car and remove the bowden tube and see if you can get the cable out. _________________ Glenn
