Lol good luck ;) Tie the new cable to the old one and pull it through the bulkhead, or ull be fiddling for ages!

well mine snapped at the pedal end, so tieing a bot of string was impossible.

What i did i fed what was left of the cable in the end inside the car, in as far as possible with string attached(i masking taped it.) then pop the old one out, and the remove the outer cable so your left with the inner cable that you fed through, pull that through so you have the string, tie the string onto the cable and remove heatshield(the best tip there!) put the new cable as far in the general area as possible then use the string to pull the new cable in.
