Default Clutch cable removal and installation

Ok I have been searching the archives all week on how to replace the clutch cable. I understand how it hooks and unhooks from the engine bay part. Pics are there for that part, but no pics for how it unhooks from the clutch pedal.

Anyone have any pics showing this part?? It will be very helpful seeing that I NEVER done a clutch cable before. I tried getting under there and look, but I saw nothing but wires and dirt. I could not locate the cable at all. So please help me out with a pic or something .

It's easy, just look under your dash, look at the clutch pedal and you will see how easy it is to take off.

So, you think that I can do this myself or should I take it to a shop? Being a female, I do have a few skills.

My skill level: I can do a tune up, change brakes and rotors (still dont understand drums LOL) has done my timing belt once, and a few elctrical installs. What you think??

It's very easy like everyone said. And don't forget to have some light! It's quite dark!

its best to have the other end on first (clutch lever). feed the other end through the fire wall. get on your back and with your left hand follow the clutch pedal lever all the way to the top. now will your right hand grap the end of the cable, pull it towards the top of the clutch pedal lever and slip it on. the top of the clutch pedal lever goes in the end and kinda hooks on. it will be alot easier if you can find someone to just hold up on the clutch lever on the tranny to take the tension off. it should take you like maybe 5 minutes. don't forget to adjust it after your done.
