Take a seat

When I took out the engine, I had to remove the heater control cables from the heater boxes. The friction nut holding it in was stuck, and I managed to snap one of the cables. Now its time to replace the cables. The cables for both heater boxes are actuated by the right control lever near the ebrake. In order to gain access the passenger seat has to be removed


You unhook the tension spring and slide the seat all the way forward. Theres a retaining clip on the right-hand track that must be held down, then the seat lifts free.


I wonder where those wires go?



They used to go to the 8-track. I guess now I know why it doesnt work.

Now I can remove the ebrake boot, and remove the heater control lever. The cables thread through
little tubes in the chassis.


These are "friction discs" or bushings that help the lever stay where you set it. Looks like I need a news one.

New cable as it exists the tube, ready to attach to the heater box.
