Unhook it from the inside of the car. You gotta do a little bit wiggling to get it out but it will come out. As far as the coolant reservoir, I relocated it to where the AC condenser is near the bumper opening, out of site.

If you are talking about the Actuator Cable, then you need to remove the accelerator pedal assembly and disassemble that end before you can pull the cable through into the passenger compartment from the engine compartment or reverse.
this is the one im talking about. Is it hard to remove and reassmebly the pedal assembly?

^ Thats what I was thinking, but I still have to get the rubber thing that covers the cable out. Or will that just come out?

I was able to get the cable out without removing the pedal. You just need to get under the dash and turn the cable so that it slides out of the retaining fitting. My apologies for the horrible description, but it's the type of thing that makes more sense when you're looking at it. There's a cut-out where the pin sits on the pedal. Just turn the cable so you can slide it out of that.

As for the resorvoir bracket, I just cut mine cuz I'm cheap like that. If you'd prefer to not cut it then get the resorvoir bracket from an 06. They moved the CC actuator on the 06+ so the bracket in those only holds the reservoir.

If you want to get fancy, you could swap out the throttle cable and the cruise control cable out. The cruise control cable is shorter.

thanks for the help on the coolant resevior, ill prolly do that.

Can I just use a bottle or something as a coolant resevior? I want to do something custom.


Also I have the cable disconnected from the pedal assembly, I just need to get it through the firewall.
