Took hours. Lots of swearing. Stabbed myself with a screwdriver.
Stupid Haynes Manual. Section 4 exup cables. Remove tank (see section 2). Drain coolant (see section 3). Section 3 replace coolant. 1. Remove radiator (see section 1). I know, I'll just read the chuffing thing fr4om cover to cover shall I ? :eek :'( :o
Even there there was foc all room for my fat fingers. Attached thin string to old cable and pulled it back through ... right up to 3/4 of the way and it came loose. Grrrrrrr!
Second cable was a bit frayed (and a bit more after I'd mucked about with it). Was going to replace both but by the time I'd messed about with the replacement of the first I'd knacked it so I ha no spare.
Next time, I'll ask the stealer to fit the darned things.
Took it out for a spin in t'Dales and it was bostin'. Plenty of bikes out too.
I even took the pushbike out for a spin as well (after I'd had a ballache fixing that). :lol
Fit them from the top down, much easier and a lot quicker
