On the BJ8 that's a challenging job.
First turn off the battery master switch.
Next remove the "splitter" bracket from the firewall at the back of the
engine compartment. 2 Phillips head screws.
Next feed the choke cable assembly, with the inner cable pulled out until
the end of the inner is within the outer, through the wooden dash and then
slide the split washer and then the nut onto the cable.
Using a thin wall socket, also slid over the cable, tighten the choke
assembly into the wood dash
At this stage it's a really good good idea to install a 5/8" NC " palnut"
on top of the hex nut to prevent the choke assembly from coming loose in
the future.
Now, after removing the socket, feed the end of the outer cable through the
hole in the firewall between the 2 "splitter" assembly securing screws.
Now push the choke control all the way in.
Next reinstall the "splitter" assembly such that the inner cable protrudes
into the splitter.
Install the trunnion through the splitter block and then clamp the inner
cable into the trunnion.
There should be little or no inner cable protruding through the splitter
block.
Flat rate time 0.3 hours. =F0=9F=98=8A=F0=9F=98=8A
