• remove retaining washer (4) and withdraw spiral at the end of cable (A) from cylindrical ridge on lever (5);

• release (by pulling upward) the other end of the sheath of cable (A) from metal clip (6) inserted in block (7) press-fitted to left side surface of heater-distributor assembly fan assembly;
• withwraw spiral from the other end of the cable from the cylindrical ridge on air intake flap idler lever (8).

To refit the new cable, carry out removal operations in reverse order, noting that the end of the sheath without the terminal must be inserted in metal clip (6) so that the air intake flap can move through its entire travel.
