Are you talking about the cable inside the sheath ,or the whole assembly ?
You should start your own thread as this one is 3 years old. Include the year of the car and model of the FI unit to help the people who know .

I take the bare cable and insert it into the pump, then align it with the distributor gear. Remove it, stick the cable in the sheath and then into the pump. Then, just stick the cable square end into the distributor. It should already be lined up.

Yes, I'm talking about the cable inside the sheath. I can unscrew the sheath end at the distributor but wanted to make sure I did the right process at the injector side. Hence the request for some direction on the procedure.

Thank you for the welcome and the good advice.

With your finger tips, grasp the flange on the cable inside the housing and move it forward into the high pressure pump. Once you push it far enough, the end of the cable will clear the shaft in the distributor
Swing the cable and housing away from the distributor.
Grab the housing and pull it to the rear, out of the high pressure pump.
That's all there is to it.

Disclosure: Because I R&R FI units on my car pretty often, I never install the cable in the casing. Doing so would slow down my work.
