It doesn't sound too hard to do:

Removal and Installation

1. Using a suitable tool, push the throttle cable nylon bushing out of the accelerator pedal shaft.

2. Remove cable housing from dash panel by removing two retaining screws and pushing outward from inside passenger compartment.

3. Remove speed control cable, if so equipped. Refer to «Section 10-03».

4. Disconnect the throttle cable at the throttle body throttle lever by inserting a screwdriver between the throttle cable and the throttle lever and giving a twist.

5. Remove the cable housing to engine mounting bracket retaining screw.

NOTE:
Refer to «diagnosis» for diagnosis of the accelerator pedal after the disconnection of the throttle cable from the throttle body throttle lever ball stud. Disconnect cruise control from the throttle cable, if so equipped.

6. To install, reverse Removal procedure and ensure cable movement is not restricted. Tighten throttle cable to engine mounting bracket screw to 5.2-7.2 N-m (46-64 lb-in). Tighten throttle cable to dash panel screws to 2.7-3.7 N-m (24-33 lb-in).

This is how you adjust the speed control cable after:

Actuator Cable

1. Remove retaining clip from actuator cable adjuster at throttle.

2. Ensure throttle is in fully closed position.

3. Pull on actuator cable to take up slack. Loosen at least one notch so there is approximately 3mm (0.118 inch) of slack in the cable.

CAUTION:
The cable must not be pulled tight, otherwise speed control may not operate properly.

4. Insert cable retaining clip and snap into place.

5. Check that throttle linkage operates freely and smoothly.

This is from the manual. I've never done it so don't know if there is any tricks etc to do it...
