how hard are clutch cables to change?

[raymond76]

just a q is it worth me having a go at changing the clutch cable on my hdi? or should i pay the labour costs to have it done for me?

it is actually pretty easy, for a normal person. i did mine and it took me ages, but thats cuz im a pleb and was trying to hook it onto the wrong part of the pedal.
couple of tips;
dont take off the clamp for he auto adjuster, also makes it impossible
do tie a bit of string to the old one before you take it out, so you can tie it round the new one to pull it through

theyre the main ones, it is a pain in the arse to get it under the a/c pipes, but a bit of brute force and they'll budge enough

Also if you can unbolt the ac pipe bracked from inside the drivers wheel arch, give you a bit more room to play with trying to get the cable through.
