I cant remove my choke cable. I can't seem to remove it from that pin hole that it's thread through in the engine.
There's obviously a screw that needs to be loosened to allow it to slide through somehow but it's stuck fast and i don't have anything small enough to do it!


Any ideas on how to get it free using a home-made method? I'm not too hot on my tool knowledge so keep it nice and simple!

Cheers

I reckon he means the grub screw that it goes through when it attaches to the carb, i would try some mole grips on the body then some big pliers on the screw

Hmm i did try that, substituting mole grips for other pliers since i don't have any. It didn't seem to be successful, kinda like using boxing gloves to thread a needle. Any tips to get it shifted? I'm not very experience with tools and car or anything in general, so i'm probably doing it all wrong.

Thanks!
