How would you get your hand in there with the dash in? The defrost cowling removed is not near enough room to provide access.

It was extremely tight but with gloves on i was able to get couple of turns to get the cable seated on the threads. Rest was the pliers ... (you have to go under the dash with a light to have some visibility).

Another way is to go through the tachometer opening if your hands are small enough.
