remove original outer, place new uncut alongside, cut to same length, swap over outer cable end fittings.

 

fit inner cable to pedal and feed through bulkhead, fit outer cable over inner and seat into bulkhead grommet..

 

fit inner cable end clamp, pull out slack and tighten grub screw, check pedal movement and that tension on WOT is not excessive, trim off excess inner cable, seal up end with solder or a cable end crimp.

 

Job done.
