Dang dude! Not going to lie, I've done quite a few cables but mostly on pickups where there is a lot of space to work with! That just looks uncomfy... but comfy wont get it done right!

Ahhhh car problems will always come bud! Just smile and wave and kick out the problem! One thing is certain and that is that at-least your dad has someone handy with hands to call upon! Heck mahn being able to work with my paws has saved me tons of money on a great deal of things! I'm sure you have to!!!
