Default Throttle & Clutch cable removal and refitting

Ive unclipped the throttle cable from the pedal, how does it go through the bulk head, and how do you refit the clutch cable? box or pedal first? and any tips as it was hard to get off

if you're asking about a sierra, clutch cable is best fitted to box end first. then lift up clutch pedal to release ratchet, wind ratchet all the way around and fit cable. the spring will then pull the ratchet back to take up the slack, and it will self adjust after 1 or 2 full presses of the pedal.

if you're by yourself, put a small pair of mole grips on the cable where it goes into the lever in the bellhousing to stop it falling out
