Rustypile, the "smash it" business was just kidding around. My only point was you have to pry the clamp open to pull the cable assm. through the F/W. And if so, the clamp has to be "Smashed" (not really), by closing the clamp's flat sides, so you can get a bolt through.

I realize some were kidding around, but when a person is thinking about doing that, he has to remember we're trying to help someone who doesn't understand how a particular system works (does its job), how the parts fit together, and many times don't realize the reason they have a problem is because they have assembled the parts incorrectly, very possibly have the wrong parts, and as we all know, some times the parts are of such poor quality, the parts don't fit properly..

Joking or not, telling someone to "smash the parts" is the last thing we want to tell them...
