Hi...
I got all the parts I need to fit Cruise Control but...
I have pulled the pin from the throttle cable but the bloody thing won't pop off????
I tried to prise it using a trim tool, screw drivers and BFI but it doesn't want to part company with the throttle arm!!!!! >:(

Wiggle it, pull it, wiggle it, pull it. Repeat x100
Bit of WD40 might help :y
-
I got a pair of mole grips attached the on as tight as I could in the circle and used abit of BFI only took a couple of wiggles ;D
-
Ok, ok.... I'm bleeding now! I'm actually damaging it trying! Thinking of buying a new cable and cutting the bugger off!!!!!! >:( >:( >:(
-
Does anyone know the part number for the cable I need???
-
Keep wiggling Dave, it'll come off eventually!! ;)
-
I really can't see how! It's loose but just won't go!!!
It's getting to the point where I'm bending the arm and damaging the end of the cable....
I'll give it another go........ :-\
-
I give up! It's dark and cold....
-
Got any grease?
-
Ever get over to Brackley?
Failing that, what part of the city of roundabouts are you in?
-
I don't get to Brackley much but I wouldn't ask you to come over here just to get a stupid cable off! Lol...

There's a circular clip that lives INSIDE the socket which doe the actual holding on of the cable on the ball of the accelerator linkage. It's this clip that tends to sieze up preventing it from coming off the ball.
If it's any consolation, I've seen Mark give up in the past & just move the whole lot out the way .............. :y :y :y :y
Stick a bit of grease in the cup before assembly ............. assuming you ever get it off ;D ;D

You guys are awesome!
Let me have another go before we have a cable party! Lol :y :y :y

Have you popped some spray grease in just to try to help? :y
If you can get in (it's been years since I had a non-DBW) with a flat screwdriver on each side of the ball, that'll work better than just one side :y

No spray grease but I did throw in a load of WD and tried the double screwdriver trick but it's solid! I'm actually damaging the end of the cable... Having said that, it wasn't great to strat with...
