How hard is it to tell us what you have??
I've never, on *any* vehicle, had to remove an engine to replace an accelerator cable.
You have obviously never worked on a Carpezi Svetlimeister Model III! ;)
It's very easy to do on a '70 bug.

there are some caveats on how it attaches to the pedal...
First step of engine removal: disconnect throttle cable from linkage and pull through fan shroud.
Last step of engine installation: feed throttle cable through fan shroud sleeve and connect to linkage.
Why drop the engine? It will add an additional four hours to a procedure that should only take ten minutes :)
(I had to change one in a center turn lane of a five-lane-wide city street during rush hour. That replacement only took five minutes.)
