Have someone else do it LOL
Actually, sometimes the cable wants to pop out of the tube right ahead of the engine shroud so you may want to guide it thru, otherwise it'll go off on a tangent (like me).

Unless you have really skinny arms it can be hard to reach behind the doghouse to the little hole where the damn thing comes out. I learned the hard way, with the cable breaking on one of Orlando's busiest highways in rush hour. Thank god we were only a mile or so from RayCar. We hitched a ride, COVERED in grease in the back of a spankin' new Mustang with leather interior. That was interesting.

Put lot of grease on the new cable as you pull it through!
