There is no cable, it is hydraulic operated.
Just make it snug with an open end wrench and bleed the line to remove air (make sure fluid reserve does not get low while bleeding).
Remove the exaust pipes. Remove the transmission. It is located inside the bell housing section of the transmission.
Follow the clutch hydraulic line down to the bell housing. Note where the hydraulic line goes into the bell housing and if there is no bleed valve there you may need to remove a cover. Have a friend/assistant step on the clutch while you open the bleed valve. Close the valve and have the friend let up on the clutch. Do that a few times (making certain that the hydraulic fluid remains full) and you're done.
If the line is connected directly, without a banjo, or flare fitting, then you will have to loosen the line, unbolt the slave cylinder, and twist the slave cylinder to unscrew the line.
