Why is that?
You just guide the pedal hook in, and push the phallic cable guide in.

The 16V throttle/accelerator cables are almost impossible to remove,
without mangling the plastic end.
The next time I have to remove one, I'll cut and remove the grommet
first, and then try to work it out.
The grommet is available at the dealer, and they usually need to be
replaced.
I'd get a new accelerator cable, grommet, and the pedal bushing...
