To get the cable outer free of the bulkhead you need to work inside the car - the cable is a tight snap fit in the hole with plastic "barbs". I cut a notch in the surrounding rubber gasket so that I could see the end of the cable outer. Then use a pin punch and a hammer to free the cable from the hole. I broke off one of the barbs which is of no consequence on the old cable. As you have discovered, there is no access under the bonnet due to the steering rack.
The real joker with this job is access to the top of the clutch pedal to release the spring clip to enable the plastic end of the new cable to be hooked in (this is where they always break). Unless you are Houdini, take the nut off the clutch pedal pivot bolt, get an assisant to open a brake bleed nipple and lower the brake pedal sufficiently to free the captive pivot bolt. Fitting the new cable inner to the top of the clutch pedal is now "easy". Bleed the brake if you have let any air in, and don't forget to top up the fluid. To get the new cable outer back in the hole, refit everything and get an assistant to press the clutch pedal whilst you guide the outer into position under the steering rack.
I replaced an auto-adjust cable with a manual adjust type from a motor factor - very cheap. Beware, there are two patterns of cable with differing bulkhead fittings, both are available. The manual adjust cable has been no problem in use and requires very little adjustment, just make sure there is a little free play at the pedal. Best of luck; it's easier than it sounds when you've done one, and mind your back!

Can you adjust a clutch on a Peugeot 806?
No you can't: the clutch on the Peugeot 806 is operated by a self-adjusting cable, so there is no need/facility to manually adjust it. One important point to note if you are replacing the clutch cable - the cable's self-adjusting mechanism is situated towards the pedal end of the cable, at the point at which the cable passes through the bulkhead. It comes with a plastic shroud around the mechanism and this shroud must NOT be removed until the replacement cable is fitted at both ends, i.e., at the gearbox end and at the pedal end. Once the cable is so connected, the plastic shroud can be removed, the clutch pedal can be depressed, and the cable will then automatically adjust itself. Also note that there are two cables available for this vehicle of differing length: 1760mm length cable to fit the ME gearbox, and 1578mm length cable to fit the ML gearbox. Either check your gearbox type or measure the old cable first to ensure you have the correct one.
