I don't know the part number, but I can tell you that you will spend more
time dropping the spare, finding  the right tools, and getting under the
van and getting up from it, than it takes to thread the cable through to
the rear. Not half an hour for sure. I stared at Bentley and asked here
quite a few times before just doing it, and it was another one of those
tasks that goes so well, you can't help but smile to think you ever
figured it was gonna be tough.

There is an adjustment mentioned in the Bentley for the throttle
connection. I didn't use it, but just pay attention or it will start up
and rev to 3000RPM, or  you won't get full throttle. Not a big deal, just
be aware of it. :-)

While  you are under the front, grease the shift linkage as  you will be
right there anyway.
