I just removed my clutch cable today and now I have a problem. When I reinstalled it all was fine except for one thing. How do you reinstall the little screw into the rubber groument thats on the firewall. Theres no room there to put it on by hand first. And when I put it in the socket to put it on it keeps falling out.

I put a bucket near the open drivers door, got on my back with my butt and legs on the bucket, had the seat all the way back and had all of the trim I could remove removed. It sucks but after some swearing and a sore back, you'll get it.

My bad, I didn't read it very carefully. I thought he was talking about replacing the quadrant. See what happens when you sleep four hours a day.
