Removal
1. | Disconnect the battery negative (-) cable.

3. | Remove the accelerator cable free-play adjustment clip (A).
4. | Remove the accelerator cable retaining grommet (B) from the accelerator cable bracket.
5. | Manually open the throttle body to the Wide Open throttle (W.O.T) position and disconnect the throttle cable from the bell crank.
Damage to the accelerator cable or the cruise control cable may result if the throttle body cam is rotated by lifting up on the cable. When disconnecting the accelerator cable from the throttle body, rotate the throttle body cam (A) only by lifting up on the cam itself.
6. | Disconnect the retaining clip (A) from the top of the accelerator pedal assembly.
7. | Remove the accelerator cable from the vehicle; the accelerator end will have to be guided out through the bulkhead access hole.
