Remove the rear end of the Bowden cable (that's the flexible 
housing) and feed the inner wire thru with the housing straight. 
Then reinsert the housing.

Grease the cable excessively as you slide it in.

By 68 the pedal cluster is a single alum casting. In 66 it was a 
casting and a steel piece that is hard to get aligned all at the same 
time. I don't know which version you have, but if it is the early one 
you might see if you can find a later version to replace it with; that 
makes things much easier. The beetle part is the same as ours.
