There's a pin that comes out (after you remove the cable first). Then the new one goes on and pin back to retain it. Simple man.

Yeah, it definitely has limited access, but the pedal assembly stays in place. You may have to play with the clutch pedal some in order to get it in the position to slide the quadrant on and off.

You won't need it. You can break it.
