Undo the securing nut in the wheel arch if you have air con. It's not that difficult just a touch fiddly. Best access is from the wheel arch I find.

You can really put force behind them with out damaging them mate, don't worry about them. Just don't go totally mental, bit you should be able to move them enough to get the cable in place

I managed to pry the pips enough to get it all through, my next question is how does it actually attach to the pedal?
