Can't say about Vanagons. In my old Beetle, the solution was to tie a string to the end of the old cable and attach that to the new cable. Then pull the old cable out (which pulled the new cable in. ) This works if the cable tube housing is in good shape. Might Want to add some grease into the tube in front of the new cable to lubricate things.

Most likely the "binding" is caused by your old cable fraying.
