Throttle cable removal
« on: 07 October 2006, 12:04:14 »

Can't seem to find the circlip on the end of the throttle cable as described in the excellent how to, in relation to removing the plenum. There is nothing on the outside of the ball which clips to the throttle housing. Not sure whether or not I can gently force it off, or leave it attached and clean the breathers in situ, which I imagine would actually be more awkward. There are two very small holes on opposite sides of the ball, and I'm wondering if the circlip has actually been left off by someone the last time it was removed. If the two small holes represent the mounting points for the circlip, then I guess this is probably what has happened.
Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
