not very!
Take the acc. cable cover off the tunnel at the L/H side of tunnel at front, pull out one half of the cable that is broken from there.

Go to ur carb, undo the hold down bolt, remove the cable and pull out the other broken half....

Get a newie, go to ur tunnel acc. cable enterance again, while feeding it in the right end in, lube with grease, keep feeding, if it stops, go back and push forth while turning it tryng toget it to feed (without being crazy).

connect it up to the carb and the accelerator lever (at the pedal assembly) the reverse of removal :P

and ur set,

Do it jas, let me speak from experience it sucks driving along and your foot goes to the floor and your car is just idling along on the highway.

Okay, so got the car home now thanks to a pair of vice grips. It is broken right at the hook under that cover thing. I can see its sheared off at the crimped biit.

I think ill get a new one tommoro and hould be crusieing on the weekend.
