Hmm, maybe you can tighten the cable up at the pedal, it really needs to be shorter so you can adjust it in the future, of just buy new one evertime, like you did.
More importantly is the 25.0MM differntial of pressed vs unpressed.
The clean and lube is easy the way your set up is, there is no spring on the small clutch arm and the omega ring seems to be non-functional.
Simply remove the circlip and the small arm will drop, just note the orientation, then there should be a dust cover then the larger Helper arm then another dust boot. You may have a roll pin on your set up, look for that, it needs to be popped out so the arm/s will release from the shaft.
It should just slip out, just unhook the cable loop. If it does not slip off, then there is some rust, tap it out. Good reason to clean and lube.
When you ready put everything back in reverse order.
But in your case set the adjustment screw pictured above to 1.5MM then attach the cable loop. It should reduce to 1.0MM after setting the cable adjuster to difference of 25.0MM. Example: unpressed the reading would be 75MM, when depressed 50MM = 25.0MM. This is just an example your reading should be different.
Unless you are planning to install a stub for the Omega Spring, you do not need it.
Damn your clutch must be heavy as heck
If your other cable is the same length you could have kept it but like I mentioned try to shorten on the pedal and you will not have to replace it the next time around for adjustments.
