Clutch Adjustment

Hi all,

When adjusting the clutch, as I am gripping the nuts to undo them to adjust the cable, I can't grip them properly as they are almost perishing. Therefore I can't undo the locking nut. I have looked them up but it seems you have to buy a new cable in order to get new nuts. Can you just buy the nuts or do I have to get a new cable?

Cheers

should be able to remove it bt spinning the adjuster off first then undo the nut behind it. but if its seized youre going to have a right game getting it off so for the hassle i would get a new cable

Is this the correct cable?

As it's aftermarket, want to make sure that it fits correctly!!

Cheers

gotta be honest i just bought a euro car parts one and it fitted but some others may be different lengths.
try it, just remember to keep the receipt incase you need to take it back.

carparts4less and Euro car parts seem to be the same company as the things I've bought from carparts4less have euro car parts labels on them but they are usually cheaper unless euro has a sale on so you may find it the same cable.

Cheers for the advice. I have ordered the cable from eurocarparts as there is a store nearby in which I can return it to, if it doesn't fit properly.
