When you get the new one, disconnect it from the clutch lever and clutch arm and then just trace it back so you know how it should be routed.

Very much so. Make sure you slacken things off at the bars so that you can get the nipples ( oooh-eeerrrrr misses ) into the slots then adjust. just follow the route of the last cable. Sholdn't take more than an hour. Most experienced people take approx 10 mins.

lol very true and saucy Razz

would it be easyer to cut it off at the top (nipple at the handle bar) and bottom (arm thingy nipple) then just pull the whole thing out?

thanks again.

clutch cables are hard to cut!

really, its a very easy job. undo the pivot bolt on the clutch lever and remove it to make it that bit easier.
