It's fairly easy. Back off the adjuster nut all the way. Disconnect the end of
the clutch cable from the clutch release arm. Disconnect the other end of the
clutch cable from the top of the clutch pedal. Remove the cable being careful
to note it's routing in the engine compartment. Replace the cable connecting it
to the clutch pedal first and then to the clutch release lever. Lastly, adjust
the clutch cable such that you have about a quarter inch of freeplay at the
clutch release lever. Note that sometimes the boot on the cable is difficult to
instal into the firewall. A little bit of Sylglide silicone grease on the boot
will help out a great deal.
