^^^^^^if you can fit down there, for you smaller guys with not so big shoulders, an batt. powered drill with a flathead attachment and a pair of pliers to hold the hose clamps in place work wonders to tighten the hose clamps real good.  its a b*tch getting it to line up right and to get a good grip on everything, but once you got it locked in, a quick press of the trigger, and presto, you got it extra tight.

I've got a MUCH better way to do this.  It took me about 2 minutes and 26 cents.  I went to the hardware store and  bought a spacer which basically looks like a macaroni noodle except straight and had the guy cut it vertically through one side with a hacksaw so there is a slit in it the width of the hacksaw blade, which is very thin.  Then I took a small nail and wedged it in the crack hold it pryed open a little.  I pulled the pedal out and slipped it around the cable as I pulled the nail out of the crack of the spacer at the same time and the spacer closed back around the cable.  These spacers are very hard , similar to pvc so there are no zip ties/hose clamps/tape or worries because this will definatly not come off.  Once you get yourself underneath the steering wheel which is probably the hardest part, it takes about 20-30 seconds.  I will try to post pictures later today.
