A friend of mine called round wanting to change his clutch cable before it snaps.Looking at it brought back a vague memory of replacing a broken one,the conical bit at the pedal end simply pushing into a clip after removing the old part.As it is I can see no way of removing it,do not want to cut it and cannot remove the through bolt to get the pedal out.Anyone know what the procedure is with these?

Not a nice job by the looks of it.

At the end of the clutch cable is a plastic connector. The connector is what usually breaks, rather than the cable. I carry a spare.
The connector hooks over the end of the clutch lever.and connect to the end of the cable by a metal spring clip, which passes through slots in the connector.
The end of the cable has a tapered end with slots in, so that when you push the end of the cable into the connector the clip opens up and closes in the slots.
You need to locate the clip and pull it free to release the cable
When the connector breaks, it is a bit of a pig, but can be done with the pedal assembly in position. The second one you do,of course, is easier!
When it broke on holiday the garage I called out did it by removing the pedal assembly

Thanks for that guys.I tried to get the bolt out that holds the pedals in but it would not shift.I could not help wondering why,given all the places under the dash,they chose to put a bracket full of relays right by the pedals.Looks like perseverance,lot of swearing and he is going to owe me a few pints.
