Then pull out the dip stick.

Carefull, a few connectors need to be undone before removing the panel completely.

Disconnect both and pull that panel out.

I left my driver seat mounted and just laud in my back under there. The cable is mounted to the pedal using just a small rubber gromet. Its a good idea to replce that grommet to the the cable has a tight fit onto the pedal mount.

I used a flat head screw driver to break off the upper tab, and then a chanel lock plier to squeeze the lower tab and push it through into the engine bay.

Notice the broken upper tab on the old unit.

Then on the throttle mount there a small plastic mount that comes out easily and has a split on one side to remove the cable.

Remove the old cable and reinsert the replacement.

Push the cable back through the firewall. Insert the rubber grommet into the pedal mount, and insert the cable mount into the pedal mount. This image shows the adjust screw for cable tension/ throttle response.
