Accelerator cable removal
« on: December 09, 2020, 01:05:38 PM »
I have everything cleared from the firewall to start out metal work on the 70'. Only thing left is the accelerator cable and a plastic retainer that I cannot figure out how to remove. Is there a special way to removal the retainer from the firewall?

From the inside, squeeze the four tabs in and push it through the firewall.
