How to replace hatch release cable

[Guest]

Dear all,

I hope that you'll excuse me asking such a trivial question after today's events in London, but has anyone replaced the cable that connects the rotating cam to the hatch release mechanism? I have managed (relatively easily) to remove and replace the driven end (that attached to the cam), but am having problems removing it from the other end. Do I need to somehow remove the rotating assembly from the boot wall?

Whilst we're at it, I've also had a go this lunchtime at replacing the rubber covers on the clutch and brake pedal, since the originals were worn through. Has anyone found a method of putting the new ones on whilst leaving your fingers intact?
Cheers,

Graham

I haven't done the hatch cable but the rotating part of the assembly is held on by 2 10mm(?) nuts - you'll need to pop out the two arms that go off to the catches to get it out completely. To replace pedal rubbers, heat the new ones up in very hot water to make them soft and stretchy before fitting.
